Read&Write for Google Chrome is an AT tool designed to support students in literacy.

Please see the video below for an introduction to Read&Write:

Read&Write is a Chrome extension (extensions are small software programs that customize the Chrome browser). Read&Write is a floating toolbar that can be used on the web, or within G-suite apps, like Google Docs.

These are the assistive tools within Read&Write:

• Word prediction
• Picture and word dictionaries
• Text-to-speech
• Speech recognition
• Screenshot tool
• Audio file maker
• Highlighting and highlight extraction tools
• Vocabulary list builder
• Reading fluency tool

The quick reference guide provides detailed explanations of each feature above.

Since Google Read&Write is on the Chrome browser, the assistive technology follows the student (instead of the other way around). So students can start writing at school with Read&Write, then continue to write with support at home.
