Kurzweil 3000 version 12 professional#
If price were no object, our district would purchase many more copies of Kurzweil Professional Color and Kurzweil LearnStation, given the application’s built-in tools for student-centered self-directed learning. The Kurzweil 3000 collection of tools is a powerful application that provides all students with digital options like dictionary definitions, synonyms, pronunciations, audio notes, outlines, and study tools for gaining more control over the learning environment. There is no support for the ePub XML - based file standard, a format supported by iPad and other electronic readers. MathML support is available only for Internet Explorer (not Safari, Firefox, or Opera), but even within Internet Explorer, the Math ML Player doesn’t always work, and it sometimes makes the browser crash. Version 12 no longer includes printed copies of user guides or other documentation. It works with TWAIN compliant scanners, allowing you to scan printed materials and convert them to editable digital text for further manipulations. Use it as a simple word processor or as a program with a rich assortment of customizable tools for read-aloud, process writing, word prediction, and language translation.

Suitability for Use in a School Env ironment: This multipurpose read-write application supports students of all ages and abilities. Kurzweil has an add-in toolbar for Firefox that enables users to activate Kurzweil reading supports (textto- speech and dictionary definitions and pronunciations) directly from the browser. The toolbar also includes the option of adding a footnote so you can attach typed notes, a bookmark tool for marking a place in a document for quick access, and a hyperlink for linking directly to a Web page. Creative Use of Technology: In addition to readaloud access to electronic text, Kurzweil offers a Study Skills toolbar with four colored highlighters (yellow, green, blue, and pink) to help with reading.
