Description

Kurzweil 3000^™ is a scan and read software program that allows you to take a hard copy of any text (worksheets, tests, textbooks, etc.) and convert it into electronic format so that it can be read out loud, magnified, converted to other formats, and add study skill features. It's a scaffolded reading, writing, and study skills solution for struggling learners, including ELL students and special needs students. It enables educators to provide differentiated lessons without having to distinguish the course of study.
