Kurzweil
The Office on Disabilities has purchased Kurzweil, an award winning software that makes printed or electronic text readily available to people who are blind or visually impaired. It combines accessibility, communication, and productivity tools to ease and enhance reading, writing, and learning.
With Kurzweil students can easily
- access printed or electronic text.
- read text with voice options.
- expand their vocabulary with an online dictionary and thesaurus to get definitions and synonyms for words they do not know.
- scan and read multiple languages.
- learn effectively by using study skills tools such as browsing, note taking, bookmarking, and summarizing.
- take information on-the-go by transferring file information to a portable device, including Braille note takers and MP3 players.
Get Started
