We know that educators are always looking for ways to help students focus, learn, and grow in confidence. OrbitNote is designed to support exactly that – making it easier for students to interact with PDFs and other digital documents in ways that match their learning needs.

These new OrbitNote features are powered by our popular Read&Write extension, already used by over 50 million of students and educators around the world. Now, the same trusted tools are available within OrbitNote to support learning with PDFs.
Collect Highlights and Collect Vocabulary are now ready to use in OrbitNote. Encourage your students to give them a try next time they’re working with a PDF. Together, these features can help reduce overwhelm, build confidence, and make learning more accessible for every student.
