Overall Satisfaction with Read&Write

I use Read&Write to demonstrate to my students I work with, in disability services. Read&Write helps students who need a reader but does better with a computer reading or if they become too anxious if there is a person physically in the room with them. We also open Read&Write up to all students to use (regular feature) to use at home or on campus.

Pros

  • Reading exactly what the student needs
  • Reads the whole screen for students with visual disabilities
  • Has other study tools that can be used

Cons

  • A cheat sheet for those who do not want to sit and watch videos
  • Tutorials on the Read&Write bar, just in case someone forgets how something works.
  • We have not measured this, but many of my students have a hard time using the system at times, so we do not have many students using it.
  • In the last two years, I have had more students use the system, but I am unsure how many continue to use it.
It has not.
I would choose Glean. I think Gleans' features are more user friendly and you are able to do a lot more in the classroom.

Do you think Read&Write delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Read&Write's feature set?

No

Did Read&Write live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Read&Write go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Read&Write again?

Yes

I mentioned this on the previous page, but not everyone watches videos. A cheat sheet is good to have or tutorials on the bar for easy access.

The school has been using it for some time now. It is a little cheaper than the competitors.
