“We chose the USB-based version (Read&Write GOLD Mobile), as we wanted to give each student the option of using the device in their preferred environment, whether it be the workplace, at home or in college, so they are not restricted to a specific laptop or desktop computer. Any preferences they set are saved back onto the device, so they do not need to memorise or reset any adaptations to the software, thus saving time and potential frustration. The devices are also sufficiently innocuous so the user is not made to feel self-conscious when using an assistive technology product.” – Jonathan White, Learner Services, South Cheshire College, UK

“One of my students, a Texthelp user, was telling me that his laptop had to be returned to the company for repairs and he was so upset as his laptop was “his lifeÀÂ�. After expressing how much he missed it he then reached into his shirt and extracted his Read&Write GOLD MOBILE and said, “but this…I sleep with this!”
You could tell how much having the option to use any computer to access the software meant to him!” – Sherri Parkins, Professor, Seneca College, Ontario, Canada
