What you Need Now (WYNN) is the innovative literacy software tool
designed to enhance success for individuals with reading challenges and
writing difficulties. WYNN was developed with the help of special
educators and individuals with learning difficulties. By using a
bi-modal approach — simultaneous highlighting of the text as it is
spoken — WYNN transforms printed text into understandable information
that benefits readers of all ages.
WYNN is available in two versions: WYNN Wizard and WYNN Reader. Both versions read text aloud while highlighting spoken words, include the four color-coded toolbars, and provide reading, writing, studying, productivity, and Internet features.
- WYNN Wizard, our premier product, includes optical character recognition (OCR), the ability to scan printed pages and convert them into electronic text. Speech synthesis enables this scanned text to be read aloud. Additionally, WYNN Wizard can read word processing documents, PDF files, text files, and the Internet.
- WYNN Reader includes all features of WYNN Wizard except OCR, or scanning. Additionally, files that have been previously scanned and saved using WYNN Wizard can be read with WYNN Reader.
We provide Network-enabled versions of both WYNN Wizard and WYNN Reader.
