If interested in using this software tool, please ask about our LNSK 102 class, which teaches students how to use Kurzweil 3000. Once a student has learned Kurzweil, it can then be used for any other class that requires significant reading and/or writing, to improve comprehension, recall, and thought organization, as well as help create study guides of class material read within Kurzweil.
