Ginger Business vs. Read&Write

The experience in the application has been in an efficient way, since its technology keeps us in the best way of its source of style to create a better quality of knowledge in what is focused on drama, and makes us better demonstrate our creativity in technology artificial, which influences that the entire application is a tool for the ability to have [very] good, clear writing and with a well-defined ability to correctly interpret texts and languages.

As I support students with SEN in a 6th Form College this is all of the time. A case is of a student who is going to university and who is going to claim DSA but needed to know what software would benefit them and how so that they could understand more fully before their assessment I was able to show them Read&Write and what it it could and would do for them on the course that they had chosen. The student was amazed and so much more confident in their chosen path that they would be able to achieve it independently.

• In the Company, we have worked for a year with the application and we have not found fault in it and we like everything that it allows us to do immediately and with great ease since its handling of spelling makes it very efficient, which wakes that our intelligence is better artificially.

• The lack of custom, web-scraped topics in word prediction has significantly impacted my students' ability to produce written work. I am extremely disappointed with the Read&Write - Co:Writer merger, and feel it was more of a "catch and kill" maneuver to eliminate a competing product that was, frankly, much better. Read&Write has rolled out topics from websites and documents recently, but this would require finding a website or document that has relevant vocabulary, which is inaccessible for most students, leaving them unable to effectively write.
• The lack of keyboard shortcuts makes this tool inaccessible for many students using alternative access methods, such as using their AAC devices to access the tool
• When accessing using switches or tab/enter alt-access, the visual feedback of where the selector is is very faint and hard to see, and not customizable. Generally the lack of visual customization, from changing the colors of the word prediction list, the size of the toolbar, etc, impacts access for students with sensory disabilities.
• The audio playback does not work well in Gmail for reading email lists.
• I have been extremely disappointed in the focus on acquiring new products under the Read&Write umbrella to the detriment of updating or improving existing products, such as deploying the AI voices in OrbitNote, the associated Read&Write PDF annotation program.
• The "CheckIt" spell check feature often misses words that can be corrected by built-in spell check tools.
• The lack of auditory chime when using the speech-to-text can make it difficult for some students to know when to start and stop speaking, influencing the accuracy of their prediction.

I'm just really impressed with the software and the access it gives to learners who are used to coming up against barriers in education. It's a quick-fix for a learner - something they can access usefully and productively with very little training. I also love that learners can access Read&Write on their devices at home - that really is a game changer.

I like the integration with Microsoft Office.

I am giving this an 9. Not a perfect score because working on PDFs is better but not yet as easy as I need for it to be. Working with many students who have executive function challenges, I need a smooth simplistic access method. We are not quite there yet for writing on PDFs. Overall the toolbar on Read&Write is super easy to access and I love that the suite includes several tools on the toolbar providing a solution to many accessibility challenges.

The support team at Texthelp is excellent. They're all super helpful and open to feedback and new ideas. Still, more importantly, they are ultimately fully committed to aligning with us and ensuring they help us provide the best education possible. Furthermore, they're open to new features and always communicate this incredibly well.

It took a solid 2 weeks for R&W to work on our students chromebooks even after reaching out to tech support. The toolbar was greyed out and not accessible to students. Took a long time before tech support helped us solve this problem.

Litera Compare, like Ginger has exceptional functions that allow you to increase the entire workflow and improve content through AI technology, but unlike Litera Compare, Ginger not only helps you create better content but also correct any spelling and grammar mistakes. The similarity between Dupli checker and Ginger is the ability to eliminate errors from documents and reports. Ginger brings with it all the necessary functions for you to make better content and create reports with exceptional grammar.

We are still learning how to use Equatio. I am not a mathematician and therefore I am finding understanding it a bit more difficult. Once I understand how to use it I will be able to cascade it down. My hope is that it will be as useful as Read & Write
