UDL Guideline 5.2 - Use multiple tools for construction and composition
Paperport Notes has multiple tools--such as spellchecker, audio recorder and speech-to-text software--that can assist the user with taking notes. Users can record notes on digital lined notebook paper or import a document and add notes directly to the document.

General Critique
The technology used in Paperport Note expands the user's ability to take notes beyond simply using paper and a pencil. Technology is essential for implementing principles of UDL and the benefits added to Paperport Note, via technology, are a perfect example of that by giving students options and support for construction of notes. Additionally, the design of the app is very clear, with picture labels representing the different tools available in Paperport Notes.
