Kurzweil 3000 for Windows was first released in 1996. It has since become the leading reading, writing and learning solution for individuals of all ages with learning difficulties like dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (ADD) and other literacy difficulties.
Teachers have demonstrated time and again that Kurzweil 3000 provides students the tools they need to improve their reading speed and comprehension, plus a suite of features that make it possible for them to learn and study independently. In this way, Kurzweil 3000 has helped improve their academic experience, their ability to function effectively in the workplace and the quality of their daily lives.
In addition, the product is proving instrumental for both classroom and standardized 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.
Kurzweil 3000 Scan and Read software provides users with audio readback of electronic text and scanned paper documents, and visually reinforces each spoken word by highlighting it on-screen as it is spoken.
In addition, the Kurzweil 3000 software for PC provides a suite of useful word processing, proofreading, correction and study skills tools that allow users to look up the meanings of words, perform spell checks and mark up their documents using electronic highlighter pens, sticky notes and other techniques.
Sections of text marked up in this manner can be extracted into a new document in the Kurzweil 3000 word processor which can then form the basis of a summary or could be used as study notes when preparing for a test or examination.
These solutions are made possible through the use of speech, language, and optical character recognition technology in Kurzweil 3000™.
For individuals with learning disabilities or a reading difficulty such as dyslexia, Kurzweil 3000 improves reading speed and comprehension through its patented highlighting of text as it is spoken aloud.
This multisensory approach to reading provides support at school, in the home, or at work. A language module provides additional support for people whose first language is not English.
