Kurzweil
In an effort to promote accessibility and inclusivity, the ADA office offers Kurzweil licenses to all members of the DU community. Kurzweil is a speech-to-text, text-to-speech, note-taking, and translation software. Students can upload texts to Kurzweil, or download a Google Chrome Extension, to read directly from the web. Any student, staff, or faculty member can email ADA@dom.edu to request a Kurzweil account and training materials.
