I think it is very hard to compare like with like on these occasions,
thinking of how they are to be used and the skills of the user etc etc.
If one has to compare I would say a better way would be to look at Claro
Software products http://www.clarosoftware.com/. - the one that is like Read
and Write Gold is ClaroRead Plus
http://www.emptech.info/product_details.php?ID=2006 but it does not contain
some of the elements found in TextHelp Read and Write Gold, although it is
cheaper and when comparing the Dolphin products they are also available as
separate applications such as Scan2Read, WordRead etc I hope to be able to
illustrate the differences on EmpTech in a short while.

Dear All,
Does anyone know how this is better, if at all, than Read & Write Gold?
