Kurzweil 1000
Kurzweil Educational Systems
Kurzweil 1000 is reading software that makes printed or electronic text accessible to people who are blind. It
converts a PC and scanner into an advanced version of the revolutionary reading machine invented by Ray Kurzweil
in 1976.
Kurzweil 1000 turns text into a variety of life-like voices and does much more. Users can bookmark, make notes,
skim or summarize text to aid mastery of concepts and details. They can modify reading speed, pitch, and
emphasis to suit specific preferences and purposes. They can edit or create documents assisted by an audible
dictionary, thesaurus or prioritized spell checker, and archive them using a simple file management dialog.
Kurzweil 1000 also retrieves information online with features that simplify locating electronic books and
magazines, and even encyclopedia articles from the Web. In addition, it takes reading on the road by sharing
electronic information with MP3 players, portable note taking devices, Braille printers and conventional e-mail
applications.
With these and an array of other features, Kurzweil 1000 makes a difference in people’s lives. It is easy-to-use
software that provides an entree into printed and electronic language as well as tools that promote understanding,
simplify communication and save time.
