Description
The TalkingPoints Teacher app helps teachers reach all parents and guardians, regardless of language, via text messages in 100+ languages. Our translation is done by a combination of human translators and machines, allowing for seamless communication with all of your families.
TalkingPoints helps teachers
• Communicate with non-English speaking parents through automatic 2-way translation
• Quickly send messages to one parent, a group of parents or to the whole class
• Keep their cell phone numbers private by sending text messages through the app
• Attach pictures, videos, polls, and files to text messages to share what students are learning in school
• Preschedule messages to go out when parents are available to read them
"Teachers have busy schedules and don't have a lot of time to learn how to use a new tool, but what I want other educators to know is how easy it is to communicate with parents through TalkingPoints. I love it and use it everyday!” - Ms. Cardenas, ESL teacher
TalkingPoints is free for teachers in the U.S./Canada. Sign up today!

Ratings and Reviews
Great!
A wonderful app! One suggestion is to disable 2-way communication with students, but leave 2-way communication available for parents. This would lessen the risk for the teacher, especially when working with older students.
Great, but Needs Some Tweaks
I really love that this app can translate for parents. That’s so important. But I’m constantly having to rewrite my messages and posts in order to fit into the character max. It would be so nice to be able to control the length of my posts! I also would appreciate an “attach link” button so that I don’t have to use up valuable character space when sending links to parents. Just my two cents!
Communicate Instantly in Many Languages!
I adore this app as a way to connect with my families. The community where I teach is almost entirely made up of new immigrants, so this is the best way to have timely communication with parents or guardians. Unfortunately it is not approved by my board due to the privacy policy at TalkingPoints. They store data and do not share with the user what they do with the data. I, sadly, will not be using it next year, but also understand my board’s position on using the app. I don’t want my families (or myself!) mines for data.
