Scan and Read Software

An example of scan and read software is Microsoft's Reading tools and learning disabilities programs that help students who have difficulty in reading.  Text-based materials give options that include scanning, reformatting, navigating or speak out loud text.  Such materials also help students with visual impairments or students who are learning the English language (ELL's).  In addition, students with learning disabilities may also benefit as text is heard and highlighted. 

Benefits: Students with visual impairments/ELLs/Learning Disabilities (ADD, ADHD) 

Visual: Window Eyes
