Texthelp Offers SENWare 2  Schools

 Assistive Technology With Text-to-Speech Functionality Now Being  Offered to All Schools

Northern-Ireland based Texthelp Systems is now offering  a new Specialist Home Access assistive technology package to all UK and Irish schools and local authorities.

The bundle includes Texthelp's award-winning Read&Write GOLD for Schools software, MindView mind-mapping and iZoom screen magnification tools.

Texthelp's Read&Write GOLD for Schools is a core element of the package.  It has been designed specifically to address the needs of students with reading and writing difficulties.

Read&Write GOLD for Schools has  text-to-speech functionality which helps to improve comprehension levels and access to the curriculum for students with special needs.

It works discreetly on  Windows platforms and assists pupils with reading, writing and research using  features such as spelling support, a talking dictionary, word prediction, study skills, and a translator tool.

MindView is a visual study aid tool based on mind-mapping theory that assists students with the research, organisation and planning of projects across the curriculum. MindView's different layouts allow students of all levels to personalise how they structure information to enhance creativity, clarify thinking and improve memory.

The tool's strong integration with MS Office means that mind maps can be converted to an outline in Word or a PowerPoint presentation with one mouse click.

Designed to help increase engagement and self-sufficiency for learning, the Schools Access Software Suite will help  learners to develop their creativity and achieve their full potential both inside and outside of the classroom.

The Suite is already being used by more than 270,000 students with special educational needs (SEN) through the  UK Government's Home Access scheme, but now Texthelp is offering the suite to schools and local authorities to help all students become motivated, independent learners.

Texthelp Systems launched the Schools Access Software Suite a  package designed to provide continuity of support and access to learning  at a recent confernce for educators.

It encourages independent and inclusive learning while helping all pupils achieve greater access to the curriculum by using Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and Digital Exams.
