Works with the Mote Sidebar

Every Mote Sidebar tool works right inside Mote PDF — Read Aloud, translation, speech-to-text, dictionary, and text prediction.

What this feature does:

Works with the Mote Sidebar means the full Mote toolkit is available on any PDF you open, so students get the same supports they use everywhere else:

  • Read Aloud — select any text on the page and hear it read in natural-sounding voices.
  • Translation — translate a passage into the reader's language without leaving the document.
  • Speech-to-text — dictate with your voice instead of typing when you add notes or text boxes.
  • Dictionary — look up a word's meaning inline to unlock unfamiliar vocabulary.
  • Text prediction — get smart word suggestions as you write, so composing on a PDF is faster and easier.

Why it matters:

  • A student's full accessibility toolkit follows them onto every PDF — nothing new to learn
  • Supports learners with dyslexia, reading delays, and multilingual needs on documents that were previously read-only
  • Reading, understanding, and writing on a PDF all happen in one place
