Read&Write vs. UserWay Accessibility Widget

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.

Accessibility on websites today is usually a convoluted process of testing and re-designing, but with Userway, the process is smooth. So for someone making their own simple marketing website for their small business, Userway could potentially save their company thousands of dollars and countless hours of development time and stress.

• 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!

• Turnkey solution for website compliance
• Easy to implement

• 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.

• Violations Widget when managing UserWay appears to be incorrectly tallied

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.

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.

There are no other competitors that would compare to Userway and I feel like I've been around long enough to have tried every single one of them.
