Kurzweil supports all areas of reading, fluency, word attack, vocabulary development, and comprehension while allowing the student to choose the text. It allows users to read the web, PDFs, e-books, and their own writing. Users can set the speed, how the program will track words or phrases as it reads, and a wide variety of languages, voices and accents to choose from. As the program reads, users can access dictionaries to explain words or provide a picture of a word. The annotation tools allow the user to highlight and color-code, write sticky notes, and circle text. These notes can be pulled out and organized to help review for a test or write an essay.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Login Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kurzweiledu.com\/default.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Kurzweil<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"> <br \/><\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">All DU students, staff and faculty should use the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kurzweil3000.com\/KLogin.php\">Sign in with Microsoft<\/a>&#8221; option.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kurzweil3000.com\/KLogin.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4245 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/otl.du.edu\/knowledgebase\/files\/2022\/09\/Kurzweil_3000_Login-300x60.png\" alt=\"Kurzweil 3000 Login using Microsoft\" width=\"300\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/otl.du.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/Kurzweil_3000_Login-300x60.png 300w, https:\/\/otl.du.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/Kurzweil_3000_Login-60x12.png 60w, https:\/\/otl.du.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/Kurzweil_3000_Login-150x30.png 150w, https:\/\/otl.du.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/09\/Kurzweil_3000_Login.png 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/><\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-51f9161 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"51f9161\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fce9800\" data-id=\"fce9800\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c1e011 elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"6c1e011\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\" role=\"tablist\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1131\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1131\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-check-square\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-user-check\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" href=\"\">Teaching Strategies<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1131\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1131\"><p>Kurzweil is available to all students, staff, and faculty at the University of Denver.
