physically accessing curriculum materials, Kurzweil 3000 provides a digital means of engaging with text 
and can support students who use alternative methods for accessing the computer.
Writing and Self-Editing Tools - As students type, the software speaks each letter or word, so they 
can quickly re cognize and correct spelling mistake s.

modifying reports, essays and papers without teacher intervention.Independent
