Kurzweil is a text-to-speech software that allows you to upload electronic files such as Word and PDF documents into it and makes them accessible. Once uploaded, the software will be able to read the text aloud to you, highlighting the current section it is reading so you can follow along with it. There are several customization options available such as the reading voice and reading rate that will allow you to create your best personal experience. The software also has built-in options for making the text more visually comprehensible as well as allowing you to mark, highlight, and take notes on important points for studying. There is also a writing option that allows you to create outlines.
