Read&Write - Free Literacy and Writing Support at UWindsor

Did you know that all UWindsor students, faculty, and staff now have free access to a powerful literacy support application?

Read&Write is a suite of software tools designed to assist in the areas of research, studying, and of course, reading and writing. It can also function as a screen reader.

Whether used in conjunction with Google Chrome or as a standalone application, Read&Write can convert your spoken notes or assignments into text, as well as read your text and PDFs out loud.  With its word prediction, grammar and spelling checkers, as well as the text/picture dictionaries for unfamiliar words it can help develop writing skills.

This application is also helpful with Brightspace exams, online journal articles, as well as e-mails and typed assignments.

More information on this tool, including how to install it, is available in this article.

We have free workshops open to anyone at UWindsor (students, staff, faculty, etc.) wanting to learn how to use Read&Write.

There are numerous helpful videos for Read&Write for Windows, Mac, or Google Chrome.  There is also a set of quick reference guides, and a help forum.

If you need additional support using Read&Write you can open a Team Dynamix ticket.
