"Kurzweil 3000 for Macintosh is intuitive and natural to use. It offers an uncluttered, easy-to-use method for accessing printed text, performing note taking or studying, and writing with the assistance of auditory feedback. You've successfully taken advantage of what's good about Mac OS X!"

"Kurzweil 3000 for Macintosh is a great way to help struggling readers independently access challenging reading material. My favorite feature is the read-aloud. This opens up a whole new world for selected students.

Using the Kurzweil 3000 Text Note is a terrific way for students to respond to assignments. They simply pull down a note to jot down an idea or respond to a question. The teacher can then easily monitor their responses by extracting all of their text notes. Both students and teachers benefit from the independence and sense of accomplishment fostered by using Kurzweil 3000."

"The absolute best feature is the ability to open up other documents and have them automatically become formatted in Kurzweil 3000. I cannot say enough about the positive implications this has for both teachers and students.

My students really took off with hearing their writing read back to them. It made the editing process so much easier and allowed them to complete assignments more quickly and easily."
