Text recognition is good. It is beneficial when you are tired of reading and want to relax your eyes. The text correction feature works well.

I have not tried the big files as I was afraid about the security part of it. The bandwidth could have been better. However, they must be working on this part as well I suppose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about read&write?

I was already using a writing tool and figured Read&Write would be similar to it. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it acts as a layer on top of my current writing tools with so many different features. I primarily use the Chrome plug-in and it's been very useful in organizing what I'm reading online. I can highlight sentences, it helps with quick definitions, or when working in Google Docs, I can have my documents read back to me. Would I say it's necessary for me? Not really, but it's definitely helpful. I see the value it brings to those with learning disabilities or who are neurodivergent so they have the flexibility to learn, read, and write, however, works best for them. No one is limited to just one way of reading or writing, you have the support of other methods through this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about read&write?

Sometimes the chrome plugin bugs out, but the support team is extremely helpful in getting it back working when you reach back out. Seems like there are constant patches for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is read&write solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides a clearer way to digesting information, text, articles, etc. It pairs nicely with my writing tool so I'm getting the best of both worlds when it comes to reading, writing, and comprehension. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about read&write?

Read & Write is an add on you can use with Chrome. It allows you to have whatever is on your screen read aloud or to have whatever you're dictating typed out for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about read&write?

Some of the features don't work well with certain operating systems. The updates are inconsistent/slow and some sites do not have full functionality. Several students have utilized this, but only some have found it helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is read&write solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use this for students who struggle with reading and writing. When we were doing all school virtually, it came in handy quite a bit. For someone who cannot type or who has suffered an injury, the dictation component is helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about read&write?

I like that it reads the text to the students like the old Kursweil. It's easy to use and navigate. Word prediction is helpful for creating independence and student ownership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about read&write?

The text to speech never seems to work correctly. It's either grossly miscommunicated or catches background speech instead of that of the student. This tool needs help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is read&write solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps students meet goals and growth targets by giving them the tools that they need for success. It also helps teachers who have large groups meet all needs of every student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that read & Write it only gives you 30 days free. Read & Write is mainly only great for certain students and staff. I dislike the fact that this is very expensive software.This software also requires help from the support team. It is very rarely that you can self help with this program.

What do you like best about read&write?

I love read and write in a school setting. It allows all my students to be able to use their computer for accessing websites and other programs with a read-aloud function. This read aloud for websites allows students at a lower reading level to gain access to websites and programs they may not have had access to in the past. Students have so many tools at their fingertips with Read&Write. They can make vocabulary lists which are automatically exported into a document with definitions, pictures and room for notes. It is a wonderfully adaptive program for students of all needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about read&write?

The only downside is that there is a steep learning curve. There are a lot of settings that feel somewhat buried, however since most of these settings don't need to be toggled, it isn't the end of the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering read&write:

Give Read&Write a shot. You will not be disappointed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is read&write solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to have students of all abilities access and work on the internet in ways they haven't been able to do before. I've noticed a more productive learning environment and less downtime with students in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about read&write?

I like that it runs in the background to constantly help out those who are needing help. I also like that it has a bar at the top of the screen to fully show you the available options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about read&write?

It was very difficult to download and understand exactly what the idea of the program was. I also don't like that their wasn't an overall tutorial at the beginning of the program. I didn't realize the main point of the program when I downloaded it and now I only find it a nuisance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering read&write:

Only download this product if you have deficits in the area of online communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is read&write solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall, I use this program to just help with my communication skills over the internet, via email, etc. I haven't realized very many benefits to this program. I think that I am just as well without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
