In addition to the reading, writing, research and study skills
features found on the toolbar, there are other powerful features
available to you.
Scanning
Read&Write GOLD can scan your print documents or saved
images into Microsoft Word, HTML or PDF formats. You can even scan
a document in using a digital camera! Once scanned, the text can be
read aloud with word highlighting and you can access all the
other support tools in Read&Write GOLD.

"My visual impairment limits the
amount of time I can spend reading. Read&Write software has
empowered me to study for longer periods of time. I use the
scanning facility excessively; it is excellent for scanning in
chapters of textbooks. I can have the text read back to me which
means it eases the strain on my eyes and prevents this leading to
headaches."

Sussex student

Teacher's Toolkit
The Teacher's Toolkit allows teachers to control which features
to add or delete from the Read&Write GOLD toolbar, configure
students' settings, monitor the progress of students, collate
spelling error logs, and analyse usage patterns. Teachers can also
prepare the toolbars with an "Exam" profile which would restrict
the functionality of Read&Write GOLD during an exam.
PDF Accessibility
Editor
With the easy-to-use PDF Accessibility Editor, you can set and
control the reading order of PDF files. Options include setting and
controlling the precise reading order (speech output) of text and
graphics, creating a custom reading flow, adding correct
pronunciation control over specific vocabulary (such as maths
equations), creating and reading Alt Texts, and excluding
headers/footers from the reading order.
Testmaker
Testmaker allows you to quickly create and deliver online
interactive tests. You can re-use existing tests or create new
tests from within Microsoft Word including various question types,
such as Fill in the Blanks, Multiple Choice, Checkbox, True/False,
and Short Answer or Essay. The tests can then be delivered online
for students to complete. When finished, the students can save,
print or email the test to you.
