Acrolinx vs. Read&Write

I have used Acrolinx as an integrated tool with Microsoft Office. I use Office tools on a regular basis and need new formatting options for not only presentations slides but also for document creation, email templates, etc., and here is where Acrolinx helps me on a daily basis. Acrolinx, however, suffers from some frequent unavailability of the tool, which results in some disturbance, but overall the experience is great with the software.

Read&Write works beautifully as a universally designed support tool for all of our students to access the curriculum. It supports student productivity, allowing for them to complete their work quicker and easier (i.e. fewer keystrokes with word prediction, voice typing and ability to listen to text read back. It provides embedded support for students who need some assistance with reading and writing.

• Read&Write is excellent in the speech to text and text to speech areas.
• We love the prediction tool, especially for users whop are apprehensive to dictate yet still require spelling support.
• We love the collect highlights feature, especially when we are researching a webpage in order to write a research paper.
• We love the summarize tool!

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.

Still trying to get all schools and teachers to buy in that students need this access

I only have Acrolinx integration with Microsoft Office and Outlooks suites.

Read&Write is better because all the tools are in one place vs Kami which is mostly just a PDF reader and annotation tool. Orbitnote is comparable to Kami so I wish that were included within Read&Write. We also have had our IT team thoroughly review Read&Write and it meets our software governance standards
