WYNN Wizard is a software based literacy support tool and study aid. It provides superior OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for scanning printed materials and reading of the text through the program's speech synthesis. The speech output is very clear and can be customized along with the visual presentation of the text to match the listening/reading needs of the user. Other features include a talking dictionary and thesaurus, bookmarking and highlighting capability, spoken access on the internet and text or voice annotation.
WYNN Reader is identical to WYNN Wizard except that it does not have scanning capability. Both WYNN Wizard and WYNN Reader feature the new RealSpeak T Solo voices that produce nearly human quality speech output.
