Yes, I did too a few days ago with the APNA list, and I was sure that I only
sent it once.

Anyone else get email rejected notices when mailing to the forum?
It seems to think I'm sending several messages, but I'm not (to my
knowledge).
Anyone?
Cheers,
Phil

Hi Phil
There is the ability within the Teacher Toolkit to set up a 'Feature Set'
and assign it to a particular user. You can customise 'Feature Sets' which
enables you to switch on or off any of the features of the program. This way
you could set up the software to only allow the text to speech feature for
this student. Then when she logs on to the software she will only be
allowed the read back feature which she has requested. She will not be able
to access any of the other features which might be considered as giving her
an advantage over other students.
To install the Teacher Toolkit you need to do a custom install. Further
details are on this webpage:
http://www.texthelp.com/rwg-ttkit.asp?q1=products&q2=rwg&q3=TeachersToolkit
The Teacher Toolkit is available with Read&Write Standard and Read&Write
Gold.
Best wishes

I have just had a phone call from an examinations officer from local
college. They have a student, in receipt of the DSA, who is requesting the
software textHELP Read and Write to be installed on to a computer for use in
their examinations. The student's disability - combination of mobility and
dyslexia - insists that she needs the 'read-back' feature within TH to
listen to what she has written - basically a sentence at a time.
In the student's psychological report, for her examinations, she has been
recommended 25% extra time (plus allowances for rest periods), a computer
and a reader.
I was wondering whether any of you have had experiences of students either
requesting or using textHELP Read and Write within an examination setting
(in addition to Word) ?? In any case, I would have thought that the reader
would be able to provide audible feedback of sentences and paragraphs in
much the same way as the TH software.
However, the student is insisting that this is not 'quite the same ??'. At
present, the exams officer is not convinced and feels that the inclusion of
textHELP would put the student at an advantage over other students.
Any comments ?
Thanks
