Karen:

We have a few copies of both the Scan/Read and the Read only versions.
We have 2 colour and 3 black and white versions.

We use the colour version if the book has text on a coloured background
(like a purple box with white text) so that it can read and understand
the text in the box. I find the colour version to work the best under
these circumstances.

Otherwise, we use black and white.

So, it depends on the textbook, and the student's needs.

Hope that helps!
:-)

Hi,

Our office is considering purchasing Kurzweil 3000 for students with
learning disabilities. And we're wondering what's the difference
between
the color version and the black and whte version. Is it worth it to
spend
almost another hundred for the color one?
