Description: This 4-part webinar will highlight some of the key features 
of the program Read&Write. The areas of support offered by Read&Write 
are: reading tools, writing tools, study tools and research tools. Due 
to time constraints, it is not possible to show all tools in action. 
However, most of the tools will be demonstrated via video clips and the 
rest will be discussed. The Windows version will be used for the 
presentation.

Session 1, General Overview and program setup:

This session will give the overview of the program and will demonstrate 
setting up the toolbar as well as the speech options. There are several 
features that can be adjusted and these will be discussed.

Session 2, Reading Tools:

This session will focus on the reading tools available in Read&Write. 
There are several tools available to support reading in Word, PDF and 
web documents. The various settings will be discussed.

Session 3, Writing Tools:

This session will demonstrate and discuss the tools that support the 
writing process. Tools such as spell checking, homophone checking, word 
prediction, etc., will be included.

Session 4, Study and Research Tools:

This session will cover the last two support areas of Read&Write. The 
program includes several tools to support the research and study 
processes. This session will also allow time for wrap-up on the entire 
program.

The presenters expect to use desktop sharing to better demonstrate how 
the application works. While desktop sharing is not accessible to screen 
reader users, the presenters will take special care to discuss what they 
are doing which will enable users of screen readers to envision what 
they are missing.
