Assistive Technology

Read&Write (R&W) is literacy software with tools designed for reading, writing, study, and research support. It has reader software that works with library articles, websites, and alternate format textbooks. R&W also includes speech-to-text to assist with typing and OCR capabilities for scanned articles or inaccessible websites.

Students can download the Windows version of R&W via Read&Write Windows Desktop Version (Links to an external site.).

Students can use R&W to read textbooks and handouts aloud with different speeds and voices, use built-in study tools like highlighting, sticky notes, and dictionary. A floating toolbar will sit on screen and can be used to interact with programs like Microsoft Word and Adobe Reader.
