Would you happen to know where the WYNN program fits in with this comparison chart?
Hi Erika.
Check out our Literacy Support Software Comparison Chart, which includes the WYNN program. We are sometimes asked how does WYNN compare to other similar programs, in particular Texthelp Read&Write GOLD, ClaroRead and Kurzweil 3000. This comparison chart will assist you to compare features of these four popular multi-featured literacy support software programs. The comparison chart is available at: http://www.spectronicsinoz.com/article/literacy-support-software-comparison-chart
