Read Write Gold is accessibility software which has been purchased by TAFE Tasmania for use by students and staff on TAFE computers. When opened by the individual user, the program displays as a toolbar which ‘floats’ on top of any Windows application, ready to provide assistance when requested. Major features of Read Write Gold are the READER (text reader), the PRONUNCIATION TUTOR, WORD PREDICTION and SPEECH TO TEXT.
You will need a set of headphones if you are using screen reading where other people may be disturbed by the voice. You will need a headset with microphone for speech to text. RWG also has several features to assist the user with writing and research tasks. There is more about the features later, but first you will need to get access.
