Hello. I have been using Read & Write for several years but have recently been told Co-writer and Snap&Read are better by a new OT to our District. What do you all think? I am familiar with those two programs in general but have not used them for awhile. This OT also mention she thought Texthelp and Don Johnson had merged, have you heard that? Thanks
Bree Loveland Hi Shana! We use snap and read and co-writer. They are great tools. I don’t know that I would say “better” but definitely cheaper when we looked at options. They do much of the same thing. Your OT is correct that they merged. I will include a link

Our district went with snap&read and cowriter purely for the price point. Neither product offers all of the cool tools available on the read and write toolbar, but we felt they delivered the core tools most students need at a better price
