The software is an assistive technology that delivers text to speech and other powerful tools to users.

Kurzweil Web License

The Kurzweil Web License allows users with active accounts to use the full version of Kurzweil on any computer that has the web License Client software installed. Access is controlled by username and password. Accounts are created and managed by the Disability Services Office at 鶹Ƶ. The client software needs to be installed to allow this.

FireFly

FireFly is a web based solution for already created Kurzweil files. Files are shared in a web based library. Users can upload their own Kurzweil files, view those shared by an administrator, or use the public library. Access is controlled by username and password. Accounts are created and managed by the Disability Services Office at 鶹Ƶ. This option is available from any computer with a current internet browser and a username and password. There is also an iPad app for FireFly, with the same features as the website.
