These programs allow to readers to focus on comprehension instead of encoding. For students it allows them to interact with the text in more efficient ways. For example, WYNN, which I use, allows the user to read and focus on comprehension. This let's adults with reading difficulties to experience more independence. They are able to scan documents which they can then read and even fill out with accommodations using the program. Many libraries are investing in programs like these making them accessible to people who may not have the means to purchase these technologies. Additionally, there are some community resources such as Dept. or Rehab which might purchase these technologies for clients.
