[Athen] Kurzweil 3000 vs. Read&Write

[Place, Vicki]

Now, I'm not trying to be negative but Read&Write tech support was horrible. When we started looking at both, Kurzweil was always there for us. R&W never got back to us, calls or emails.  I'm in IT and that just isn't a good sign.

I do like the idea that Kurzweil is self-contained, yet gives the student flexibility.  We have the web license and it works fabulously.

It really is a case-by-case situation. Some love one program and not the other.  I guess it depends on your "needs" list to find out what will work for you.

Subject: [Athen] Kurzweil 3000 vs. Read&Write

Hello everyone,

Our program is considering a transition from Kurzweil 3000 to Read&Write.  While I understand there are many advantages and disadvantages, I was wondering if you can give me a comparison if you have experience with both programs.

Thank you,
