Kurzweil 3000 Features and Benefits
Macintosh User Interface
Kurzweil 3000 is designed specifically for Macintosh computers. The clear, concise user interface appeals to a wide range of users from elementary school to college, and saves students and educators valuable learning and teaching time.

Unique Test-Taking Capabilities
With Kurzweil 3000, students can independently complete worksheets, classroom tests or standardized exams with greater confidence and fewer mistakes. Students requiring accommodations can seamlessly answer fill-in-the blanks, multiple choice, true/false, short answer and essay questions, while using a customized selection of writing tools, comprehension aids and visual modifications as appropriate.

Powerful Study Skills Tools
Students improve their reading comprehension and retention with tools that facilitate active reading including highlighting, annotations, sticky notes, and extraction of outlines or word lists. With the same tools, teachers can personalize instruction to suit student needs and learning styles.

Quick Access to Reference Lookup Tools
One-click access to word support, including a recursive dictionary, synonyms, syllables and spell word, helps students with decoding and keeps them reading with better understanding of words and their meanings.

Flexible Writing Tools
As a student types, they can use the check-spelling-while-typing and speak-while typing features so they can quickly recognize and correct spelling mistakes. These tools, along with the fully integrated audible spell checker, assist students with modifying and creating projects, worksheets and papers without teacher intervention.

Patented Dual Highlighting
Kurzweil 3000’s patented dual highlighting employs a multi-sensory approach to improving students' reading performance by highlighting a sentence, line or phrase in one color and highlighting each word in another color as it is read aloud.
