WYNN 5.1: Software for people with reading
challenges
Data Sheet
Enhance reading, writing, and productivity
WYNN is the innovative literacy solution designed to enhance success for
individuals with reading challenges and writing difficulties. By using
the software's bimodal approach – simultaneously highlighting the text
as it is spoken – WYNN transforms printed text into understandable
information that benefits readers of all ages.
Ease of use
WYNN's four color-coded, rotating toolbars create a unique differentiator
for this software solution. The simple point-and-click interface is
extremely easy to use. The toolbars emphasize file management, visual
and auditory presentation of text, traditional study tools, writing
aids, and Internet use.
Exclusive new Web Focus™ feature
WYNN's exclusive WebFocus™ feature, using IBM's Web Access
Technology, masks distracting visual clutter, and helps the reader to
focus on important information.
Two versions available
WYNN is available in 2 versions: WYNN Wizard provides
optical character recognition (OCR), the ability to scan printed pages and
convert them into electronic text, plus all the features mentioned above;
WYNN Reader includes all the features available in WYNN Wizard except OCR
and scanning capability. Both products are available in network version.
