WYNN Wizard

WYNN (What You Need Now) is a literacy software tool to help learners with reading and writing challenges. WYNN changes printed text into understandable information by allowing you to scan printed pages and convert them into electronic text, it then highlights text as it is spoken. WYNN's four color-coded, rotating toolbars are easy to use. The toolbars emphasize file management, including web and e-mail access, visual presentation of text, traditional study tools, and writing aids. WYNN has a WebFocus™ feature that can remove distracting visual clutter, and helps the reader to focus on important information on the web.

WYNN is available in 2 versions: WYNN Reader and WYNN Wizard (which allows you to scan documents). Some of the other features include:

• Email system built in
• Dictionaries - built-in standard and basic recursive dictionaries
• Traditional study tools - highlighting, bookmarking, text and voice notes
