Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

I use Read&Write as an assistive technology in K-12 classrooms. It is a great equalizer for students who learn differently. It accommodates many different types of learners and is easy to use. The company is responsive to challenges faced by the software and is easy to contact. They truly aim to support their users!
  • The reading tools are great.
  • I love how the option for multiple languages supports new language learners.
  • The picture dictionary is fantastic, extensive and meaningful.
  • The word dictionary is too difficult and often doesn't lead to clarification of meaning.
  • I would like to see a click to speak on the web toolbar rather than hover speech. Students sometimes have difficulty understanding the hover speech.
  • An option in settings to combine the images from the picture dictionary with the translation tool.
  • Having a Canadian dictionary, spelling and pronunciations would be great.
  • I have seen Read&Write be effective in supporting an insurmountable number of children in our schools.
  • Building the confidence of students who are able to participate in classroom assignments they would not normally be able to is amazing.
  • It has been great to see the gain of independence in students to complete class work.
The support team has always responded to any contact quickly and followed up on any ongoing concerns in a timely fashion. They are always willing to problem solve. If they can not resolve your concern, they always ensure ideas are flagged to the development crew.
It is such a game changer for so many of our students, and is easy to support.
Read&Write is much more user friendly and it also is able to integrate more seamlessly with the Google environment or the Microsoft environment.
