Read&Write Testimonials:
"When working with dyslexic students or explaining how technology can help dyslexics, Texthelp Read&Write has always been well received as its many features give dyslexics a valuable toolbox to help them succeed. The read back facility, alone, is a perfect aid to research and proof-reading - even the calculator and spellchecker have speech options! Coping with homophones can be especially difficult but the program's special feature reveals them then shows all alternatives to ensure the right one is used."(Chris Sellers, Consultant.)
"We have installed Texthelp on the computers in the libraries in five Dublin Institute of Technology campuses. We also provide the software on laptops which we loan to students. I have found that it is very easy to train students with dyslexia to use Texthelp. They also continue to use the software because it works well in conjunction with the Microsoft Office programmes which they commonly use. I would also say that it assists students to learn and study more independently." (Caroline Donoghue, Assistive Technology Officer, Dublin Institute of Technology.)
