Read&Write Gold
Syracuse University maintains a site license for TextHelp Read&Write Gold for PC and Mac.
Read&Write Gold helps all individuals succeed regardless of ability or learning style. Users can access the reading, writing, studying, and research tools they need at school, home, or work. Having text read aloud with dual color highlighting, along with additional support tools, helps every learner gain confidence and work independently at their own pace.
The discrete, customizable toolbar works with commonly-used file types and applications including: Microsoft ® Word, Google Docs™, PDFs, Mozilla Firefox®, Internet Explorer®, Safari, and Chrome™, to make digital content accessible. The software can take scanned electronic documents and camera images into a format that enables interaction with the content.
Read&Write Gold is especially helpful for those challenged with the increased demands of college, including:
- Those with learning disabilities, such as dyslexia
- Student athletes trying to balance the demands of sports with their course work
- First-generation college students
- English as a Second Language learners
- International students
- Adult learners with full-time jobs and families
- And all others who have difficulty reading and writing
The software will soon be installed on the computers in the ITS public computer labs and can now be installed on users’ University- and individually-owned computers.
Contact your local IT support team for assistance installing the software on your University-owned computer. Download link below for installing on your personally-owned computer.
