Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

As the technology director for the district, I do not regularly use Google Read&Write, but I manage the renewals and oversee the use of it in the district. This has been a great too for many of our special needs students to assist them in writing documents and other course work. The fact that this tool works on a variety of devices is another benefit to having Read&Write in our district.

Pros

  • talk&type
  • prediction
  • text to speech
  • highlighting

Cons

  • accuracy of voice to text can always be made more accurate
  • add a thesaurus tool
  • having so many features available in 1 tool limits the need to purchase multiple products
  • more efficient use for students when every tool is available in 1 toolbar
  • Tool can be used by all students and staff members as well
This has not impacted me directly, but Read&Write has becoming a reliable tool for our special education department to recommend to students in need. While directly benefiting special education students, it is often recommended for students that struggle to type at a certain pace and need help with certain words, staying focused, or need translation.
Read&Write is now recommended for any student with an IEP. It has become a reliable resource to use and share.

While all students can benefit from the use of this tool, this is especially great for our special needs students that need assistance in performing their work, or students that struggle with typing. The translation tool is especially helpful to our increasing ML (multilingual learners) Population. It is also a great benefit to students to have a singular tool that offers both text to speech and speech to text.
