Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

I work in a school district. We use Read&Write district wide to support all learners but especially those that need speech to text, word prediction, text to speech. Staff have found dictionary and picture dictionary to be very useful. We try to encourage the use for all students and staff.

They always respond quickly and are usually able to solve the issue.
This is very important to my school district. The support needs to be reliable and work when we need it.
We haven’t used Kami in awhile, but it did not measure up when we last tried it.
All the Don Johnston products do things very well. We always had all the products because they are similar but did some things better than Read&Write. For example, word bank is a real time saver to staff who have students that need a word bank, the summary feature helps them adapt material and give the student a quick overview of the article. The translation support in Co:Writer and Snap&Read are superior to Read&Write. The outline tool is a fabulous tool for students of all ages. Staff have used it in courses they are taking!

Yes

It is a good tool for text to speech it even reads math. It is a time saver for staff and students to make vocabulary lists. I also like the ability to highlight text and extract the highlights. The dictionary and picture dictionary are very powerful for all learners. The ability to leave voice notes is a powerful feature to make a quick comment to others or to get your ideas out and listen to your audio note to remind you what you wanted to write about. The translation feature is not as powerful as I would like, it translates one word which is great for some students, but other applications provide more support to students who are starting to learn English.
