Do you prefer to listen rather than read?

Do you sometimes need help to understand unfamiliar words, research assignments or proof-read your work? Read&Write might be the tool for you.

Read&Write is a free toolbar to support reading comprehension. You can decide what might work for you:

• Dictionary & Picture dictionary – to help with word comprehension.
• Text-to-speech – reads out loud words, passages, or whole documents.
• Screenshot reader – write, edit, and add text or shapes to PDFs, where text is often inaccessible.
• Screen masking – tints the screen to assist the focus on specific parts of the screen or text.
• Web search – searches a highlighted word.
• Translator – Provides a written translation and ability to hear the word read aloud.
• Highlighters – ability to highlight important text.

Read & Write is available on all student computers at your campus library. You can also download a version to use at home.
