Snapverter (Google app)

Take a moment to view this tutorial to orient yourself through Snapverter.  Snapverter will convert an image of text (a picture of text) to a pdf that is able to be read aloud with Read&Write for Chrome.  This app for Chrome is available to all students and staff for download from the Chrome web store (if it doesn't appear automatically within your Drive).  Once added, and once you grant permissions for the app to run within your Chrome profile, the app will create a new folder in your Google Drive called Snapverter.  Inside this folder, you will see a folder called "drop files here..."; you can put an image taken with a smartphone or a tablet into this folder and it will bump through each of the folders within Snapverter and end up in the "finished" folder.  From here, you can "open with" Read&Write for Chrome.
