Read&Write comes with a user friendly toolbar that allows for a variety of assistive services - from highlighting in multiple colors to "speech to text" feature where the selected words in a document or on a webpage will be read aloud (while being highlighted for the user to follow along and stay focused). Selected text can be exported as an .mp3 for users who want to "learn on the go." Read&Write also comes with "screen masking" settings which allow the user to control the color, brightness, and opacity of the active document - and also the background.
