Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

Many students across our school use Read&Write. They may be dyslexic, they may be slower at processing text or require their screen to be an alternative colour. We have 90 exam laptops that all have Read&Write on for when students with Access Arrangements are completing their exams. The students find that the use of Read&Write dramatically improves their grade as they can listen to the questions carefully and repeat them as many times as need be. They can change the speed of the voice as well as the sound of the voice so they can really tailor it towards themself. As per school policy, all PCs across our network have Read&Write installed and all Google accounts have the extension pushed out to them. Therefore, Read&Write is accessible anytime and any place for any member of staff or student.
  • Allows an equal playing field for all students of all abilities.
  • Has the ability to scan documents in of any condition (OCR).
  • Extremely customisable, (voices, colours, speeds etc.).
  • Exam mode is amazing.
  • You can only open PDF reader for a maximum of two documents at a time.
  • Documents over 30 pages struggle to scan sometimes and cause the program to crash.
  • Struggles to read the periodic table.
  • Boosted student performance in Exams as they can access the work at the same speeds as others despite low processing speeds.
  • Visual learners like the fact it highlights all the text for you so you don't always need headphones
It means the world to students as those who log into their Google Accounts anywhere (at home, school etc.) will have access to Read&Write. Many parents ask us as the IT department about Read&Write before their student enrolls to our school and they are always pleasantly surprised that we ensure all students have access to Read&Write wherever they go.
