There's Type & Talk from textHELP. Gives similar facilities to Read & Write on the PC but it incorporates it own text editor so it can't work with a seperate wordprocessor. (www.texthelp.com) Also take a look at Don Johnston. Their UK web site is www.donjohnston.com/uk They have Write:OutLoud and, although I could not find it on their site, a magnifying package called In-Large. Also take a look at http://trace.wisc.edu/world/computer_access/mac/macshare.html for a comprehensive list of free and shareware packages. > we have had a request to support a group of Dyslexic/ > Disabled students who will be using an Apple Mac. Are there any > packages which can mimic a Windows screen reader or magnifying > software ? And is there a good mac supplier you could recommend > for this.
