Our 92nd interview is with Martin McKay, founder of Texthelp, an edtech organisation which helps people with communication difficulties. In this podcast, listen to Martin and Teacher Toolkit founder, Ross McGill discuss Martin's childhood growing up in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and his education.

We learn how Martin taught himself to code and why he switched from biology to education technology, plus what influenced Texthelp and why focus on dyslexia? Unpicking how Texthelp products can help pupils, and how the software works and supports pupils, we discover Texthelp has over 10 million active users on a daily basis!

From a teaching perspective, Martin explains how dual-coding improves comprehension and Why schools should invest in literacy-improvement tools, plus Martin's message for teachers working during the pandemic. Martin has spent work life developing education technology. He wants to use his influence and expertise to have a positive impact on one hundred million people! We think Martin and Texthelp are well on their way...

Thank you for listening.
