Content at Scale vs. Read&Write

Anyone looking to update or add long form content on their website would greatly benefit from using Content at Scale! I can't imagine not using it for our business. Keep in mind you will need to edit what it produces. In our experience we could not have published without editing. They offer great resources to assist you with the best way to edit and ways to use the tool in general

Read&Write is especially well-suited to supporting students with reading accommodations during independent work, content-area instruction, and written-response tasks. In my 5th-grade classroom, one of the most effective scenarios is during science and social studies lessons, where students are expected to read complex informational texts independently. There can also be occasional challenges when websites, PDFs, or testing platforms are not fully compatible with all Read&Write features.

• Produces Long Form Blog Content
• Produces Blog Content with Table of Contents
• Provides FAQs and Embedded Schema Code
• Has a Great Training Program.

• 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

• There was some trouble when the Shopify Integration was first launched. I think that has been resolved.
• We are trying to use our custom tone. It seems to have trouble with that. I may need to seek more instruction on how to instruct it properly.
• There have been times when replies from support were too slow for our time lines.

• I would like to use the practice reading aloud tool more, but the kids that I work with have a hard time understanding the concept. I think that, while there are a lot of tools available, sometimes they are hard for younger students to understand.
• The hover to read function is nice as well, but my students struggle with the fact that if you move the mouse once it starts reading it will start all over in a new area. It's not as smooth as I would like it to be.

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.

While I continue to SurferSEO for it's Audits, Grow Flow and other SEO related functionalities, Content at Scale has proven to be the better choice for producing content, with input from SurferSEO (and other tools) helping to select topics.

Jasper was a great tool, but I was looking for a more one shot solution to producing long form content than Jasper provided. I've produced a huge variety of other kinds of content with Jasper, including a book!, but it took a bit more effort.

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

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

The product can be used on as many devices at once as needed
