It works very well at home. For exams and homework the text to speech function is really useful. In lessons is good too. The text to speech is more complicated to use because the candidates/ students need a different room. We also need more training on how to use this function.

Pros
ProWritingAid
  • Fully equipped - the ProWritingAid tool gives you almost all the writing control you could ever need or want.
  • Ease of use - The ProWritingAid app has an intuitive dashboard and all the features and functionalities listed on the top bar. This writing assistant for online users offers you a great way to improve the content in just a few minutes.
  • Price: Compared to other online editing programs with grammar checkers like Grammarly, Ginger. ProWritingAid Premium is only $ 60 a year, which is affordable for most people.
  • Integrate Scrivener and Google docs - We've been waiting for this for a long time. Especially those who use Scrivener. Gdocs is not supported, yet the ProWritingAid fix on your text within your document makes it easier for you.
  • Style Editor - Comes with an attractive writing and editing tool.

  • Creates vocabulary lists for students that include symbols, definitions, and space to add additional notes or images (a staff favorite)
  • Intuitive word prediction that supports spelling, grammar, and reduces the number of keystrokes needed
  • Text-to-speech on any digital text using the regular reader or screenshot reader, making almost any content accessible

Cons
ProWritingAid
  • One of the websites I visit has troubles with the addon.
  • Another typical issue is that some of the "correction lines" that appear under the text do not match.
  • The only drawback is that in order to get good content, you must copy and paste it into a new document in My Home for ProWritingAid.

  • Setting the speech to text up on different devices that do not have the internet speed to function smoothly or if it is in Exam mode and the user is not constantly using the speech to text mode.
  • Grouping the voices on their style such as harsh, clipped or soft would enable to pick their preference quicker rather than going through all of the different countries.

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 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.

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). We still utilize the Windows-based speech-to-text (windows+h) because it is available natively in Windows even in desktop applications other than a web browser. It is good for people to know one tool that works everywhere. However, Read&Write offers the most complete set of ELA support features all in one place, without burdening the user with extra software or a confusing interface.

The pricing is reasonable. A lower tier with just screen reading and basic functions would be nice, but not a deal-breaker.

Return on Investment
ProWritingAid
  • ProWritingAid is perfect if you have words that you use regularly that are not correct words, such as brand names, slang, or abbreviations. It is not necessary to correct each of these errors, just by clicking on "add to dictionary" ProWritingAid reminds that that word has to pass.
