TextHelp Read & Write Gold v9

Users with literacy difficulties are likely to suffer major problems when reading the written word. Read&Write 9 GOLD goes some way to minimising barriers to learning, as every piece of text can be speech enabled.

The result of this is that users do not have to struggle to comprehend written information as they can have the text played back to them in an audio format.

This feature therefore enables users to work more efficiently as they do not need to spend large amounts of time trying to comprehend text.

Toolbar

The spell checking facility provided by mainstream word processors such as Microsoft Word do not fully meet the needs of users with literacy or learning difficulties.

The Phonetic Spell Checker in Read&Write9 GOLD provides such users with the added support they need as the program recognises their unique spelling patterns & makes suggestions accordingly. The result of this is a higher level of relevant suggestions for the User, as the spell checker is uniquely capable of recognising the word the user is trying to spell.

The spell checking facility also provides audio visual definitions of the suggested words, therefore allowing users to assure themselves that the word they are going to use is correct. This is expected to enable users to build their vocabulary & confidence.


Now there is no need to learn a whole new way of creating & editing text - just use the word processor you have always used. Read & Write Gold edition will also read PDF documents!
