The Speak & See suite includes four accessibility tools in a single package to make it faster and easier to accomplish daily tasks on your computer:

• Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred 10 – launch applications, open files, create documents, manage email and work on the web – all by voice. Dragon eliminates the manual task of typing so that users can quickly and easily capture their thoughts and complete work with greater independence.
  
• Speak and See Toolbar – nearly any on-screen text can be spoken aloud by the computer in a natural-sounding voice. The toolbar also combines a homophone dictionary, thesaurus, reference dictionary and spell checker. It’s like having a built-in proofreader to ensure the quality and accuracy of your documents.
  
• Magnifier (Lightning Express) – magnify all or part of the computer screen up to six times for easier viewing.
  
• Screen Ruler – the horizontal highlighting and magnifying band of the Reading Ruler makes it easier to see and concentrate on text or objects on the computer screen.
  
• For the ESL community: The Language Learning Assistant speaks text aloud to demonstrate proper pronunciation and includes bilingual dictionaries in many languages.
