it is a very helpful tool. Now I can just copy and paste the text and find out if it is plagiarizing. I can use it to check my emails to avoid any embarrassment. In the future, I want to use it to check essay content in other languages.

It's great for kids with hidden disabilities. Having a screen reading tool helps eliminate reading anxiety for kids with dyslexia. When they know they have access to a tool to help them gain access to information they are more engaged. The word prediction doesn't work well for kids with articulation issues and there are areas of improvement for low vision users.

  • 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!

Cons
Barnes & Noble Education
  • Despite being fast, the checks are not completely accurate or thorough
  • The monthly checks are limited even for the paid version
  • There is no option to make live changes and the entire modified content must be pasted again to determine its accuracy
  • Cannot be used on the go as it works only on a desktop/laptop

  • 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.

They are quick to respond and very helpful. Answers received back seem genuine and informed. I never feel I am jumping through technical support hoops as staff do not follow a support script that starts at the lowest level and requires repeated information.

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.

Return on Investment
Barnes & Noble Education
  • Paper Rater is like a writing assistant that not only checks your grammar but also gives you comprehensive feedback on your writing.
  • I was able to use Paper Rater to check for plagiarism in mine. However, given Paper Rater's more academic approach, it offers a much more robust engine for this. For example, you will get an overall originality score and links to sources for copied material.
