<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Read write gold may work in certain
situations. A colleague and I has been going through the database resources
for the library to determine whether or not they are accessible. Ones that are
true HTML and web based usually work pretty well -- search engine, search
results, and article text. There are some databases that are so proprietary
and so locked down there is no way to use a JAWS and read and Write Gold read
the actual text. Kurzweil 3000 virtual printer only works if you can print the
document -- if you can't print it and can't save it you can't use the virtual
printer. Google scholar, and Ebrary is a good example. There is actually no
way to get access to text. You can start an account request a text version of
the document and then you do have access without any difficulty. But your
average student that doesn't know that it is necessary. Read write gold does
have a small application that allows you to scan on-the-fly -- select the area
of the text you want and then it will scan it and then open it in a separate
dialog box allows you to highlight and reads. This is slow and not practical
for reading a lot of text.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
