What it is

Mote PDF is a web app to access, edit and save any PDF. Open a document and Mote checks it first, telling you whether it is accessible, inaccessible, or a scan. If it is only a picture of a page, Mote uses OCR to read the words and turn them into real text. Students can then use all of Mote's reading and writing tools to read aloud, translate a passage, look a word up, or reduce distractions with the Screen Mask. They can work on it too: highlight, annotate, drop in text boxes, and sign and date it, all saved as proper PDF annotations that travel with the file.

Key Features

Whatever state the PDF is in

An accessible PDF

Already tagged and readable, so the whole toolkit works from the moment it opens.

An inaccessible PDF

Mote flags it, then OCR rebuilds the text so the document becomes accessible and the whole toolkit works on it.

A scan

Detected as soon as it opens. OCR reads the words off the picture and turns them into real text.

A photo of a page

Same treatment as a scan. The words come off the image and behave like any other text.

Start annotating and reading

Create a Mote account. You can sign in with Google or ClassLink, so there is no separate password to remember.

Mote PDF lives on the Mote app. Nothing to install before you open a document.

Drop in a worksheet, an article or a page from a textbook, or open one straight from Google Drive.

If the document is only a picture of a page, Mote offers to run OCR on it. The words come off the image and become real text, so Read Aloud, Translation, the Dictionary and the Screen Mask all work on a document that gave a student nothing before.

Hear it read aloud, translate a passage, then highlight, annotate, add text boxes, and sign and date it. Click save to Google Drive when you're finished, and everything saves as proper PDF annotations that travel with the file.

Common questions

Fonctionne-t-il sur les PDF numérisés ?

Oui. Mote vérifie chaque PDF que vous ouvrez et vous indique s'il est accessible, inaccessible ou un scan. Si c'est un scan, il vous propose de lancer l'OCR pour que le texte puisse être lu à voix haute, traduit et sélectionné.

Le document corrigé fonctionnera-t-il avec un lecteur d'écran ?

Oui. Mote le reconstruit en tant que document correctement structuré, avec de véritables titres, listes, tableaux et informations linguistiques, balisé selon la norme d'accessibilité PDF/UA. Ce n'est pas une image avec du texte caché derrière.

Dois-je télécharger le PDF en premier ?

Non. Téléversez-le directement dans Mote PDF, ou ouvrez-le à partir de Google Drive : cliquez avec le bouton droit sur le fichier, choisissez Ouvrir avec, puis sélectionnez Mote. Rien à télécharger ou à convertir d'abord.

Les surlignages et les notes restent-ils sur le document ?

Oui. Elles sont enregistrées en tant qu'annotations PDF réelles plutôt que comme une couche d'image superposée, de sorte qu'elles persistent et restent avec le fichier.

Les élèves peuvent-ils remplir une feuille de travail sans l'imprimer ?

Oui. Ils peuvent taper sur la page, ajouter des zones de texte, ajouter une signature et une date, puis enregistrer le résultat.
