This software essentially allows typed documents to be
scanned and then for the documents to be read aloud. This would be really great for visually
impaired or blind persons. Here's a
brief tutorial of one program called Open Book by an actual user Ernie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6nh7YHOmz8
My school district uses Kurzweil and many of my students
with reading disabilities have accessed the textbook, readings, exams and
worksheets with it. The special
education teacher sets it up for an individual and I have found it to be very
helpful for them. Kurzweil's site has
free trials of two of its programs: one for those with reading disabilities and
the other for those with vision disabilities.
