UDL Guideline 2.4- Provide understanding across languages
SayHi Translate is an electronic translation tool app. It helps to breakdown language barriers by simply selecting the starting language and speaking into the a device. This resource can be utilized in the classroom for ESL students to speak English and correct their grammar while comparing it to Spanish. It is also an important resource for teachers to communicate to parents that are not fluent in English (it can translate English to 100 different languages) and can be used for students with visual impairments. 

General Critique 

SayHi Translate is the interpreter in your pocket. Talk to your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad and hear your words back in different languages. You will then get an accurate readout of how it should be written in the other language, as well as an audio reading of how to say it, which is handy. You can create whole conversation strings using this method and save them for use later, should you wish to repeat the sequence at a later date. Alternatively, you can type your required sentences or phrases rather than speaking them.

See example below (English to Spanish).
