Chose Read&Write
Early on our district was using Kurweil 3000 but that was restrictive to the computer that it was placed on. We also used co-writer (Don Johnson) for writing supports. By having both features available in one convenient toolbar along with other amazing features that follow the …

Chose Read&Write
We still utilize Microsoft Immersive Reader as our Tier2 / UDL support tool. However, the word prediction is barely functional and there are confusing limitations to when certain tools are available (the picture dictionary is available in Word Online but not in Edge).

Chose Read&Write
Read&Write is more economical, accessible (not device-dependent), and supports the Google platform. Texthelp's customer service is far more supportive, and Texthelp's R&D is far more innovative.

Chose Read&Write
Read&Write is a much more comprehensive tool option. We can offer a wider range of support for all students. Read&Write has had Google Classroom compatibility for a while, which was not the case years ago.

Chose Read&Write
I really think that Read&Write outshines the competitors. Its variety of tools offers so many options to so many students/people. Some of the other tools were cumbersome, only worked on installed programs like MS Word or only worked in its own environment. Read&Write works …

Chose Read&Write
I've always found Read&Write superior to Kurzweil and we do have a small volume/web license of K3000 for those students that have used it in the past and I am not able to convert them to Read&Write. Dragon is one of the Speech Recognition options. I lean towards using the …

Read&Write is much more user friendly and it also is able to integrate more seamlessly with the Google environment or the Microsoft environment.

Comparison of Writing and Proofreading features of Kurzweil 3000 and Read&Write
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.
