Considered Both Products	Cambium Learning Group No answer on this topic	Everway (formerly Texthelp and n2y) Verified User Chose Read&Write Early on our district was using Kurweil 3000 but that was restrictive to the computer that it was placed on. We also used co-writer (Don Johnson) for writing supports. By having both features available in one convenient toolbar along with other amazing features that follow the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Read&Write We still utilize Microsoft Immersive Reader as our Tier2 / UDL support tool. However, the word prediction is barely functional and there are confusing limitations to when certain tools are available (the picture dictionary is available in Word Online but not in Edge). We … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Read&Write Read&Write is easier to use and the tech appears to be superior Incentivized Helpful? Jennifer Fryer Jennifer Fryer at York Catholic District School Board (Computer Software, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Read&Write Read&Write is more economical, accessible (not device-dependent), and supports the Google platform. Texthelp's customer service is far more supportive, and Texthelp's R&D is far more innovative. Incentivized Helpful? Janet Kennedy Assistive Technology Specialist at Oak Lawn Hometown SD 123 (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Read&Write Read&Write is a much more comprehensive tool option. We can offer a wider range of support for all students. Read&Write has had Google Classroom compatibility for a while, which was not the case years ago. Incentivized Helpful? Yvan Roy Assistive Technologist at Cambrian College (Higher Education, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Read&Write I've always found Read&Write superior to Kurzweil and we do have a small volume/web license of K3000 for those students that have used it in the past and I am not able to convert them to Read&Write. Dragon is one of the Speech Recognition options. I lean towards using the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Read&Write Read&Write is much more user friendly and it also is able to integrate more seamlessly with the Google environment or the Microsoft environment. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Read&Write Easier to use and cheaper. Incentivized Helpful? Sally Garza Director of Educational Technology in Information Technology at Lawrence School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Read&Write I really think that Read&Write outshines the competitors. Its variety of tools offers so many options to so many students/people. Some of the other tools were cumbersome, only worked on installed programs like MS Word or only worked in its own environment. Read&Write works … Incentivized Helpful?
