WYNN 5.1 Literacy Software

Imagine Success — Improve Reading, Writing and Studying with WYNN's Powerful Tools

Enhance Reading, Writing, and Productivity

WYNN is the innovative literacy solution designed to enhance success for individuals with reading challenges and writing difficulties. By using the software's bimodal approach – simultaneously highlighting the text as it is spoken – WYNN transforms printed text into understandable information that benefits readers of all ages.

Ease of use

WYNN's four color-coded, rotating toolbars create a unique differentiator for this software solution. The simple point-and-click interface is extremely easy to use. The toolbars emphasize file management, visual and auditory presentation of text, traditional study tools, writing aids, and Internet use.

We provide Network-enabled versions of both WYNN Wizard and WYNN Reader.
