Read&Write is a Toolbar designed to help you with the process of researching, reading and writing with a wide variety of tools that you can customise.

Features include: 

  • Text-to-speech: Reads words, passages, or whole documents aloud with easy-to-follow dual colour highlighting.
  • Talk&Type: Turns the spoken word into text.
  • Audio Maker: Converts selected text into an audio file, and automatically downloads.
  • Translation & Referencing: Over 80 languages available for translation that you can save to build your personal dictionary housing both definitions and images.
  • Check It: Reviews writing for incorrect grammar, spelling (phonetic), capitalisation, punctuation, verb tense, referencing and more.

Read&Write is currently available at Bond University on Google Chrome and for PDF and Screenshot assistance. See installation instructions below.

Latest Updates
