The Ux of the tool is excellent, and the use itself is convenient. It does not through unnecessary adds within the service, which is fantastic. The routine work can be easily performed in this. It is suitable for beginners & moderate users specifically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will be great if they can provide a mobile application. Otherwise, everything is fine for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

while having adhd, it helps read out loud on the sentences and helps me understand more clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not dislike anything in particular about this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I like read&write because it helps improve your writing skills. This software is designed to help everyone, even those with difficulties reading and writing. It will also help those with learning disabilities. This software reads to you, and the big thing is that it has spell check as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that Read & Write 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 rare that you can self-help with this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

It was very difficult to download and understand exactly what the idea of the program was. I also don't like that there 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.
