Kurzweil 3000 for Windows

Kurzweil 3000 is a scanning, reading, writing and learning solution for students with learning disabilities or reading difficulties

Kurzweil 3000 is the premier reading, writing and learning software for struggling students, including individuals with dyslexia, learning difficulties, or those who are English Language Learners.

Because Kurzweil 3000 is also content independent, teachers in primary schools, secondary schools and higher-ed institutions alike can use it to help students succeed in the classroom regardless of curriculum or lesson plan.

Educators and independent research have demonstrated that Kurzweil 3000 provides not only the tools students need to improve their reading speed and comprehension, but also the features that make it possible for them to learn and study independently.

With the aid of visual and auditory feedback, the software helps students keep up with assigned reading, learn critical study skills and successfully complete writing projects and tests.

The software can access virtually any information, whether it is printed, electronic, or on the Web. It then reads the words aloud to the student in clear, humanlike, synthetic speech, while a patented dual highlighting feature adds visual reinforcement. For students who have difficulty physically accessing curriculum materials, Kurzweil 3000 provides a digital means of engaging with text and can support students who use alternative methods for accessing the computer.

In addition, the product is proving instrumental for both classroom and standardised assessments. Kurzweil 3000 not only reads questions and answers aloud, it allows students to type answers directly onto the image of a scanned test, thereby offering more independence for both the student and teacher.
