Read&Write 8.1 GOLD

New Features and Enhancements

Support for Windows Vista

• Read&Write 8.1 GOLD supports Microsoft’s newest operating system, Windows Vista.

Screenshot Reader

• Users can now select any part of the screen to be read aloud. The selected text will appear in a

separate window and be read aloud with highlighting. This feature works with all text, including text that is

embedded within an image or is contained within inaccessible flash giving users access to text found

within many websites and applications (i.e., Blackboard) that was previously unreadable.

Scanning Enhancements

• Scan from a digital camera - Users can take a picture of a page or document using a digital camera,

scan it into a computer from the camera, and read it using Read&Write 8.1 GOLD.

• Ability to enable/disable specific scanner options dependent on the type of scanner.

Study Skills Integration

• The Study Skills Toolbar is now integrated within the main Read&Write 8.1 GOLD Toolbar. By

integrating Study Skills into the main toolbar, users can select and extract highlighted text from within

Internet Explorer, as well as MS Word.

Summary Feature

• Users can now select a portion of text in a document or on the screen and Read&Write 8.1 GOLD will

create a new MS Word document that collapses the text into a summary. For example, a page of text can

be summarized into just a couple of paragraphs.
