“Hearing text read aloud by the computer is exceptionally important for ESL/EFL students, who rarely receive enough spoken input. Kurzweil 3000 reads word-processed documents, e-mail, scanned text, even Web pages. And it has excellent study tools: students can look up words in a glossary, highlight text, and create notes – and save it all into a built-in word processor for later review.” Dr. Elizabeth Hanson – Smith, Professor Emeritus, California State University, Sacramento, CA, USA
