Helpful Online Tools for Students in Classes 9 to 12
Oct 11 , 2023
Nowadays, there exist many different online tools that can be helpful for students in all classes and grades.
For students, specifically in classes 9 to 12, there are various online tools that can play a helping role in assignment writing, vocabulary building, concept learning, etc., and so on.
Let’s take a look at some of the specific ones in this article. We’ll also discuss how these online tools can be helpful, particularly for students in classes 9 to 12.
#1 Grammar Check
The first tool that we’re going to discuss is Grammar Check. As the name of this tool describes, it is a grammar-checking tool.
Let’s first talk about why this tool is helpful for students before describing its perks and features.
Grammar checkers are typically used by students and writers when they have to submit assignments, and they need to make sure that there are no grammar/spelling errors in there. Tools like this are able to quickly scan the given write-up and indicate the errors in it.
This is one of the reasons that they are helpful for students. They can quicken the pace of the proofreading process. But there is another factor that makes these tools helpful for students as well. Grammar Check, in particular, comes with the feature of describing the highlighted errors and explaining the reason behind the errors. This can be helpful for students since they can learn from the tool and polish their grammatical understanding.
Features and Working of Grammar Check
Now, let’s look at the features and working of Grammar Check.
Features
The tool is free to use, and it does not require any signing up. While free access is somewhat ubiquitous in online tools, the perk of not requiring registration is not that commonly granted. Grammar Check gives both.
The tool has a quick working. It doesn’t take up a lot of time to process the text, and you can get the scan over with in a matter of seconds.
Comes with a “Resolve All” and “Ignore All” feature. This feature is something that we have not found in any of the other tools that we’ve used so far for this purpose. Thanks to these two features, you can resolve all the errors in the content collectively with a click of a button.
Working
Here is how you can use Grammar Check:
First of all, you have to enter/import your content to the tool by either copy-pasting it in the provided field or by uploading a file from your local storage.
Then, once the content is entered, you have to start the process by clicking on the “Check Grammar” button
The scanned output will be provided in the same field, and you will be able to see the errors highlighted in the text. To resolve them, you can either click on them one by and one and select the suggestion, or you can use the “Resolve All” button.
#2 Paraphrase-Online
Paraphrase-Online is also a helpful tool that students in classes 9 to 12 can use. As we did above, we will first talk about the nature of the tool and how it is helpful before moving on to the specific features.
Paraphrasing tools are available in abundance on the Internet. They have been around for some time now, and nowadays, thanks to the integration of AI, they have become smarter and more efficient.
These tools can be helpful for students in two different ways.
Firstly, they can help students improve the quality of their content (the stuff that they write for essays and assignments). Good quality content is desirable in more or less every situation, and these tools can help students with that.
Another slightly less known use of these tools for students is vocabulary building. Students can utilize these tools to learn new words that they can later use in their own content. One of the main paraphrasing changes that these tools make is replacing words and phrases in the text with alternatives. This alternative-adding mechanism can be helpful for students since it can show them new words used in the same setting/context.
Features and Working of Paraphrase-Online
Let’s talk about the features and working of Paraphrase-Online now.
Features
Paraphrase-Online has an AI-driven working. Thanks to the AI-based mechanism, it can detect the context of the provided content and make such changes that don’t alter its real meaning.
The tool also provides the feature of multiple paraphrasing modes. Using these modes, the users can decide what type of changes are made to the text. There are a total of five modes, but three of them are only accessible by paid users.
Paraphrase-Online can be used in different languages such as English, Spanish, Portuguese, etc. Thanks to the multi-language support, this tool is not only helpful for English-speaking students but also for those who need to paraphrase content in any of the other available lingos.
Working
Here is how Paraphrase-Online can be used.
You first need to import your content into the paraphrasing tool either by entering it directly or by uploading a file from your device.
After that, you have to pick from any of the five provided modes. You can do this by clicking on the mode’s name at the top of the input/output fields.
Then you just have to click on the “Paraphrase” button, and the process will start. The output will be given in the box on the right-hand side.
#3 Image to Text
This is the third and last tool that we will be mentioning in this list.
Image to Text is an online OCR tool that serves the primary function of converting images into text. The tool exists on the Internet with the same name and can be reached by adding the domain suffix “.info.”
OCR tools can be helpful for students in classes 9 to 12 in different situations. To give you an idea, here is an example of a use case.
Since OCR works to extract text from an image, it can come in handy when students have to convert their handwritten notes into digital text for use in an assignment. In other words, if the students have to type the assignment out, and they need some material that they have written down by hand, they can copy it over using OCR instead of manually tallying it down.
The same can be applied to things like physical textbooks and teacher notes.
Features and Working of Image-to-Text
Let’s move on to look at features and working of this tool.
Features
Here is a peak at some of the main features of this OCR tool:
Image to Text provides AI-assisted text extraction. Thanks to this, the text copied from the provided images is accurate and without any errors. This can help students quickly and efficiently do the whole process without worrying about making changes to the outputs.
It provides an option to upload files from the local storage as well as from Dropbox. This makes it easier for students to work on files that may be present in some sort of shared storage.
It also provides an option to upload multiple images at once. As a paid user, you can add up to 50 images at once. This can be highly helpful if you have to process a lot of pictures at once.
Working
Here is how Image to Text can be used:
You first have to fetch your image to the tool using any of the two options provided. You can either get the file from your local storage, or you can fetch it from Dropbox.
Then, when you import the file, it gets added to the queue. You can then click on the “Submit” button once everything is all done.
After the process is complete and the extraction is done, you can download the text to your local storage or copy it to your clipboard.
Conclusion
In the post above, we have described three online tools that can be helpful for students in classes 9 to 12. We have talked about tools including Grammar Check, Paraphrase-Online and Image to Text. We’ve also described their respective uses for students as well.
