New PDF reader Snap&Read and OrbitNote

How the products work

Can Snap&Read and Co:Writer be used inside OrbitNote?

Yes! With this update, the Snap&Read extension can be used inside OrbitNote for features like text to speech, translation, text simplification, color overlay and more. Co:Writer can already be used in OrbitNote for writing support inside annotations and comments.

How do Snap&Read users get started with using OrbitNote?

There are a few ways to get started with opening PDFs in OrbitNote:

  • Click the “PDF Reader” button on the Snap&Read extension
  • Open a PDF first, click the Snap&Read extension and choose “Open PDF in Snap&Read”

In both scenarios, the PDF will then open up in OrbitNote.

Once you’ve done this for the first time and signed into OrbitNote, users can open PDFs directly in OrbitNote via Google Drive, OneDrive, the web, and Learning Management Systems.
