MIAMI, Fla., April 29, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Today Pneuma Solutions launched a free service that redefines the way students with special needs are provided instructional materials. Based on Pneuma\u2019s Augmented Document Remediation technology, Scribe for Education allows teachers in K-12 to upload image files to a secure cloud service that provides near real time conversion to a variety of text and audio formats like Braille, large print, and MP3 for use by disabled students. The service fills an essential gap as school districts flip from traditional classrooms to distance learning programs.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cStudents with disabilities have trouble accessing printed school materials in a timely manner under the best of circumstances,\u201d says Mike Calvo, founder and CEO of Pneuma Solutions. \u201cWith so many of us teaching from home during the pandemic, technologies that convert documents into special formats need to be available with no need for complicated training. I want to use our technology in a way that ensures students with disabilities are not left behind no matter who is educating them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Themselves blind individuals and trainers of the print impaired, Calvo and lead developer, Matt Campbell, understand the challenges teachers face in accommodating students with disabilities. Under this initiative, teachers and parents can trust the strength of the company\u2019s commercial product to help students with special needs keep pace in a way that is free, reliable, and intuitive using nothing more than a web browser.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the average person, access to the printed word is taken for granted,\u201d says Campbell. \u201cBy providing teachers direct access to our cloud-based tools, specially formatted materials can be reproduced, by the teacher or parent, for disabled students at the same time as their nondisabled peers. Scribe for Education can redefine the way they learn.\u201d<\/p>\n
