Read&Write is a tool available to BC students that offers screenreading functionality.
There are three options to utilize this tool.
Chrome Extension: If you use Google Chrome, you can add and enable the Read&Write Chrome Extension. This allows you to access the text-to-voice software in the Chrome browser.
Mobile Devices: If you use a mobile phone, download the "Read&Write" application from the app store and sign in with your BC email address using your Google account.
Personal computer: To use the software on your computer, download it on your computer. The download link is available from the BC IT website which will lead you to the texthelp product page. From the texthelp product page, click "Try Read&Write" and then select "Start Your Trial Today." Follow the download process, and sign in with your BC email address using your Google account.
By signing in with your BC account, you will automatically receive a premium license. After you sign in to the application on mobile devices or your computer, a popup message will confirm, "Your account has been linked. You have *** days left of your current subscription." This message appears because BC's license subscription expires in March 2025. The licensing department will renew BC's license in March, so you will not need to take any action.
To learn more about Read&Write, please refer to the BC library guide for Read&Write.
