What this feature does:
The Select Area tool allows users to click and drag over text that cannot be highlighted normally, such as in images, PDFs, or scanned documents. Mote then reads the selected content aloud with word-by-word highlighting.
Why it matters:
- Makes text in graphics, screenshots, and PDFs accessible
- Supports students with IEPs, vision challenges, and multilingual learners in accessing non-editable content
