INSTALLATION

How easy is it to install?
Already installed when we used it.

MAIN FEATURES

What is it used for?
What are it's main features?
Techniques to help with spelling, memorising, academic work and exams, together with a recording of other dyslexic students experiences. I found the spelling and memorising techniques the most relevant to me.

GUIDES FOR USE

Are there instructions/a manual? How easy are they to follow?
N/A

EASE OF USE

How easy is it to use with a common sense approach?
I had a little difficulty moving about from screen to screen when I wanted to return to a previous screen or get back to another part of the software.

GOOD POINTS

What do you feel are the most helpful features for dyslexics?

a) The voice commentary was very helpful and made it a lot easier to use.

b) The spelling and memory techniques were also helpful and I have used or intend to use most of them.

c) I found it really interesting to hear other students' experiences.

BAD POINTS

What is disappointing about this software?

a) At times the voice commentary goes on at some length and I found it difficult to take it all in. It would have been better in smaller chunks.

b) Also more use of different colours for the text to make it more visually appealing and easier to read would have helped.

VALUE FOR MONEY

How much does it cost and is it good value?
Cost: £85 + VAT. + p+p
