"The Dictionary offers an amazing opportunity
for resources that can lead to independence in writing...The
ability to see synonyms, get meanings of words in context, hear
pronunciation, and discover various uses of the word opens doors to
struggling writers. This feature really demonstrates the "help" in
the name Texthelp and allows it live up to its
name."

Picture Dictionary
When you come across a word you are unsure of, you can use the
Picture Dictionary to display a visual image from Widget Symbols to
better understand the meaning of the word. Text definitions
can also be displayed if desired.
You can also use Picture Dictionary images within Microsoft
Word. Simply double-click on an image in the Picture
Dictionary and it will be placed in a Word document next to the
associated word. Adding images to text is especially beneficial to
students who require augmentative and alternative communication and
English Language Learners.

and prediction tools) will benefit my students tremendously because
they are so easily accessed. You have produced a very complex and
complete software package that is easy to use and
supported by quality, effective customer service. Thank
you."

"The feature I like most is
Speech Maker. I use this tool to convert electronic text into mp3
audio files. Student's love using the audio file to play on their
iPod's and car stereos. Read&Write GOLD allows the students to
customize their listening experience so that it suits their
individual taste. This makes having a learning disability a
non-issue and gives the students the confidence they need to
succeed in higher education. Read&Write GOLD has replaced a
plethora of antiquated software and hardware in my office and made
my job considerably easier. Thanks Read&Write GOLD
team!"
