Here is how Kurzweil Educational Systems can help: Our products offer a multi-sensory approach, and multiple means of access to text; whether in print, online or in digital formats. Kurzweil includes the highest quality Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software available, which reproduces scanned print documents with the exact layout and format found in the original then the software can read the document aloud. In this way Kurzweil software products give reading disabled, blind and vision impaired users access to casual reading, workplace documents and classroom curriculum and the freedom to read and write without the need for a tutor or human assistant.
