Good morning Kate,
The two programs that we use here at Cambrian College, Sudbury, ON, is the Kurzweil 3000 Scan and Read and the TextHelp.
The Kurzweil 3000 Scan and Read is used to scan books and with a click of a button it will read the text. With this program you can also check the definition, the pronunciation and the spelling. The TextHelp program is used as an speech output also but it can also be used by students when they are typing. As a student is typing, when configured right, the computer will speak each letter, word or sentence. It also has a "correct spelling as you type" option.
We purchased the Kurzweil 3000 from Frontier Computers in Toronto and we are resellers for TextHelp.
Hope that helps,

I am looking for software that will be easily used by students with learning
disabilities, for example, something with audio output rather than text, or
something that would enlarge text, which is helpful for those with dyslexia.
Can anyone recommend any titles? Thanks.
Kate O'Connell
