Kami Reviews & Product Details

Kami is easy to use and implement in my curriculum development. I use it at least once a week and I appreciate that I can split documents and then download a new version. It is beneficial to my classroom because I can integrate information that I personally select. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is the difficult when a person wants to blend two different documents into one document on the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It opens quickly, is lightweight, and offers impressive power. Integration is also straightforward and seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI isn't the fanciest you'll see, although it gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to add notes and comments and to use all the toolbox features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I have shared the link to a Kami document, others have trouble accessing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am currently working as a TOSA (teacher on special assignment) to coach and support technology integration at the secondary level throughout our district. Kami is undoubtedly our go-to tool for professional development, as it's the delivery method of our monthly challenges.

In the classroom, Kami integrated seamlessly with Google Classroom and Canvas, our LMS, and Google Workspace with the Open with Kami button throughout. You can also find this button in Canva, which is wildly helpful.

I support teachers who use Kami daily, and even our data suggests that it has the HIGHEST use of any of our premium apps throughout the district. It is used in our Dual Language classes to support Spanish language students with its translation of menu and interface, Multilingual Student Dictionary, and Read Aloud in Spanish. Our math teachers use the built-in supports for students with virtual rulers, compasses, and protractors. All students are issued a touchscreen Chromebook with a stylus, and this allows students to draw and write their answers.

Moreso, students have access to scaffolded supports. Kami supports our IEPs for students with the ability to add audio comments, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, video comments, and Dyslexic fonts. Videos also generate captions for students in real time. Teachers can leave audio comments as repeatable directions for students or leave video comments for our deaf and hard of hearing students and use ASL to translate.

The Feature Controls allow teachers to easily target student learning and support all students with one app! It saves time and creates efficiency patterns for all users.

Integration was as easy as pushing out a Chrome Extension and students and staff log in easily with SSO with Google.

What I love most is their customer support. Teachers can request 15m, 30m, 60m virtual support sessions to freshen up on their skills, learn new features - which Kami releases ALL THE TIME! They are wildly positive people to work with and your best hype team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Kami is coming along in creating more tiered levels of worksheets and activities in their Kami Library. I would like to see more supports come their way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My first experiences with Kami were simply being able to edit a PDF file. Then I discovered all the wonderful tools that it offers and was able to transform many of the resources I had into interactive resources for my students. That is why I shared it with the teachers. So that they could also try it. And what I really love about Kami is that it is very user friendly and has many multimedia elements that help engaging students.

Kami has improved so much over the years that I can't really think of anything that I least like about it. Little by little they have been adding new features that were on my wish list and up to now I am very satisfied with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Kami user for over 5 years now, I've witnessed the evolution of this tool. The initial draw to use it was becasue of it's robust ability to provide accessibility to all learners. I've worked with students from 2nd to 8th grade, and Kami was always my go-to tool when needing to share assignments for students to complete.

Their seamless integration with Google Classroom for both student use and teacher grading capabilities, it simply can't be beat! Did you know you can even disable tools from being used when assigning an activity (maybe students just don't need to be overwhelmed by all the tools offered; some might not be needed; some might hinder ability to see what student's know; etc.). Assigning a task to Google Classroom is super easy and can be done either right from Kami, or through Google Classroom.

Kami is also my favorite virtual whiteboard. The tools are perfect for use with touchscreen projection, and they save directly to my Google Drive!

My favorite tool - Spilt and Merge. This tool is a godsend! Being able to manipulate large files and make them into smaller, more managable ones, saves me so much time. I can even delete pages I won't need or use without making permanent changes to the original file!

With Kami, I'll never need to print a paper copy of a work assignment again (if I don't want to)!

If I ever encounter issues, their customer service team responds quickly to my request and sees the task through. I have yet to have an interaction with any member of their team that wasn't kind, curtious, and sympathetic to my needs.

I simply cannot praise this tool, and company, more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been a few instances of markup changes not being saved. However, I later discovered it was user error/poor internet connections. If students are quick to close their tab/device after making edits, they could cause sync to malfunction. Always be sure to have students check that disk icon, or "SAVE" feature, to ensure changes are saved! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is funny... There's absolutely nothing.... Kami is magic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kami not only allows you to interact with a PDF document, it also connects to products like Google Classroom, Schoology and Canvas allowing teachers to easily have their students access, complete and submit assignments. Kami also has templates to help teachers supplement their lessons. In addition, our district uses Kami on the administrative side of the business for filling out and signing forms that were previously paper-based. The files save directlyt to Google Drive and can easily be shared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike about Kami, but a desired feature would be the ability to have an approval routing system for forms and documents that would help tremendously. Also the ability to create a form inside of Kami would be an excellent feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kami is very easy to figure out and has many features that make the experience worth it (ex. text recognition and google drive uploading). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It occasionally is incredibly laggy and almost unfunctionable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kami is an incredible accessibility tool. I work with high school students and Kami is easy and intuitive for my students to use. It give them control over their learning without needing tons of settings adjusted. I use it regularly because it is compatible with pretty much anything I am doing online with my students.

I use the free version. My school is unable to pay for the premium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
