Copysmith vs. Read&Write vs. Text Cortex AI

Read&Write is a solid, long-lasting tool that I have relied on for my students for many years. It is especially strong at supporting students with reading challenges. It is less appropriate for students with more complex needs who have non-standard speech or are using head or eye control. It will continue to be a tool that I encourage many students to use.

This platform has been very useful and is appropriate for all organizations.

• 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

• 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.

• Pricing per words instead of uses (invocations)
• Mobile app (Android)

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.

Seems to be available when Internet is working.

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 was easy to learn to use

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 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

Absolute not happy with Custom GPT, there is Text Cortex AI 1000 times better with content generation, content optimizations.

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

• We are early to deploying Read&Write but hope to see increased test scores
• We are early to deploying Read&Write but hope to see decreases in student behaviors triggered by challenging ELA assignments
• We are early to deploying Read&Write but hope to see improvements in student self perception as a result of increased ELA success

• This platform has had a very positive impact on our organization because we have been able to implement it from anywhere, this tool can be installed easily, you can create unlimited texts in the business version, there is not a number of descriptions generated per day, your organization can do as many as it wants.
• allows you to manually write texts that you can implement with your organization, created with a natural language.
• This tool has an exceptionally basic plan for a price of only $ 19 per month, I recommend it for small companies.
