Kurzweil 3000's multisensory approach to reading provides both visual and auditory feedback. Kurzweil 3000 displays an onscreen version of any scanned printed material.
Users can read along, take notes, and highlight right on the computer screen.
Language tools like a dictionary, thesaurus, and phonetic spelling tool provides additional support. With a click of a button, Kurzweil 3000 will also read aloud web pages, opening up a whole world of research. Multiple dictionaries provide word definitions, synonyms, syllabification, and spelling to aid reading comprehension, word de-coding, and writing tasks. Dual highlighting of words in context as they are read aloud increases reading speed. Spell checking and word-prediction help increase speed and accuracy of writing.
