Product Description

Kurzweil 3000 is an assistive technology, text to speech, learning tool that supports the concept of Universal Design for Learning with a suite of powerful reading, writing, test-taking, and study skill tools that makes curriculum accessible to all students. Kurzweil is a comprehensive solution for students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, those who require reading intervention, students struggling with reading comprehension and English Language Learners (ELL).

Kurrzweil 3000's patented dual highlighting of on screen text improves students' reading performance by highlighting a sentence, line or phrase in one color and each word in another color as it is read aloud. In addition, students can improve their reading comprehension and retention with tools such as text highlighting, annotations, Bubble Notes, voice notes, bookmarks and extraction of outlines or word lists.

Quick access to reference lookup tools offers one-click access to word support, including recursive dictionaries, a thesaurus, and syllable identification helps students with decoding and keeps them actively reading when they reach passages they would otherwise have difficulty comprehending.

Flexible writing tools include speech to text and word-prediction to assist students with writing and editing reports, essays and papers independently.

Teachers can embed Bubble Notes containing questions and instructions about assigned reading. Bubble notes and other powerful instructional supports help students stay on task and support reading comprehension.

Kurzweil 3000 enhances audible and visual access to web pages with Chrome and Firefox, opening up the resources of the Internet to all students, while providing the same reading and reference features that users enjoy within Kurzweil 3000.
