Compilatio vs. Read&Write

Read&Write is definitely suited to supporting learners of all abilities in accessing learning. Its on-demand nature is really powerful, giving children the support, confidence, and scaffolds to access their learning without any stigma or the need to be embarrassed when asking for help from a teacher or another adult in the classroom.

• Read&Write works well with Word in Office 365 (we are a Microsoft board)
• 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!

• I wish the Check It tool was available on the web (only in GDocs currently)
• I wish the highlighter/collect highlights would collect citation information (kind of a combination of MyBib and highlighters)
• One weird thing with the Reading tools (text-to-speech) is that if you are zoomed in to FIT on a GDoc it does glitchy stuff (skipping or not displaying) vs when you are at 100% zoom
• why isn't Rewordify in Read&Write in a Google Doc? only on web version? Same for Simplify text tool.

I always appreciate the emails with tips, tricks, videos and professional development. The tool is often changing for the better and it's good to stay in the loop. I have also been pleased with the tech support from Texthelp when needed. However, we rarely need tech support for the product. Our sales rep has helped us renew our license multiple times!

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

Clicker was missing from the list. The benefit of using Read&Write over other software has been its integration with Google, and that it brings all the features into one toolbar. This means we are not adding additional cognitive load to our students.
