Assistive Technology Support for Complex Reading

Kurzweil 3000 is an assistive technology designed for individuals with learning disabilities, especially dyslexia. While this technology has existed for years and has been widely employed by college disability resource centers, we know relatively little about how this technology and others like it support the reading practices of college level students. To investigate this research question the Usability/Accessibility Research and Consulting lab, in partnership with the Writing in Digital Environments research center (both at Michigan State University) conducted a usability evaluation of Kurzweil 3000 with users who have dyslexia, and this paper presents preliminary findings.
