"The Headstart students and I thought Dr. Peet's TalkWriter [for Windows] was a great program! Where else can you hear the Alphabet Song sung in harmony! Other things we liked best about Dr. Peet are the ease with which a child can explore the program; the universal access features for students with disabilities, especially the scanning/switch capabilities; the Write Words choice which enables a child to learn about the English language through the discovery mode; and the recognition of inventive spelling. Not important to the children, but certainly to me, the adult, are the Guide Menu which includes a user friendly guide to allow for individualization of the program and the Help Menu which describes the Program Operations."

"My son was able to start kindergarten reading at a first grade level according to his teacher. He prefers Dr. Peet's TalkWriter over his former favorite software programs for beginning readers."

"Dr. Peet's TalkWriter [for Apple IIe] is one of our favorite programs, and we use it with preschool, closed-head injury, learning-disabled, impaired vision and even adult students. The large print, simple word processor and voice output are the important features...."
