What is Kurzweil 3000?
Kurzweil 3000 is a web-based text-to-speech and learning support tool that allows students to listen to digital text and use built-in study tools such as highlighting, notes, and dictionaries. It is commonly used by students with reading challenges, including dyslexia, ESL learners, and auditory learners.
Kurzweil 3000 runs entirely in a web browser and does not require software installation.
Kurzweil 3000 can be accessed on desktops, laptops, tablets, and most mobile devices using a modern web browser. There is no separate mobile app for most users; access is provided through the web interface.
