I've tried: ---WYNN ---Kurzweil 3000 ---CAST eReader ---ReadPlease I've looked at the TextHelp products page, but didn't see a demo for any of their products. Anyone have comments about good or bad experiences with these? Features you liked or didn't like? User friendliness? Other products? Thanks.

We've got TextHelp! in our computer lab in the Academic Development Unit at my college. It was specifically designed with dyslexia in mind -- this means it doesn't have as many features that would be important for folks with visual handicaps, but it's integrated into Word so there's a bit less of a learning curve and you can learn to use one feature at a time. Is this for an individual or for a computer lab situation? When I got the TextHelp the guys at assistivetechnologies.com were more than willing to provide help setting up & training, tho' I didn't need it. I'd get in touch with 'em and see if they can get you a demo.
