Texthelp Systems Announces Read&Write 8 GOLD Mobile

Posted on: Wednesday, 18 October 2006, 09:00 CDT

Texthelp Systems today announced Read&Write 8 GOLD Mobile, a portable version of its Read&Write 8 GOLD award-winning literacy support software program for individuals with reading and writing difficulties. Read&Write 8 GOLD is an easy-to-use toolbar that floats on top of any mainstream Windows® application. Read&Write 8 GOLD Mobile provides users with all of the features of Read&Write 8 GOLD with the added benefit of being able to use it anytime, anywhere, on any computer.

Read&Write 8 GOLD Mobile comes on a portable smart drive and allows users to run Read&Write 8 GOLD on any computer with no installation necessary. Users simply plug the key ring-sized device into the USB port of any computer running Windows 2000 or XP and they're ready to go. Read&Write 8 GOLD Mobile provides students and teachers with complete portability to access Read&Write 8 GOLD anywhere.

Using Read&Write 8 GOLD Mobile, teachers can prepare assignments for students any time or place that is convenient for them - before, during, or after school. Students can complete homework assignments or use Read&Write 8 GOLD Mobile for pleasure reading, sending email, or searching the web using the same tool they use at school. Since user preferences are stored on the device, users can work comfortably using their own settings on any computer whether at school, home, work, library, or after-school program.

"The flexibility of Read&Write 8 GOLD Mobile provides the solution to one of the questions we are asked most often by our customers -- What do I do if I have to use a computer that does not have Read&Write 8 GOLD on it? Users now have access to Read&Write 8 GOLD wherever and whenever they need it," said Jack Dolan, President of Texthelp Systems, Inc. "The development of this new technology greatly expands the potential of our existing education market and opens up new markets for us, particularly in the area of workplace accommodation."
