(Photograph) - The AlphaSmart keyboard has proved to be ideal for children and teachers who need mobility in the classroom, and beyond, to enter text for downloading to a PC via cable or infrared. Now it has a bonus for those with difficulty reading and writing. You can buy it with its own version of one of the best predictive word processors for education, Co:Writer, from Don Johnson Inc, a US company specialising in software for dyslexia - you can try any Don Johnston program free for 30 days.

The Alphasmart 3000 costs around pound;190 from suppliers, including TAG and Toucan, pound;230 with the Co-Writer SmartApplet, or pound;89 for the software direct from Don Johnson. See April’s Online for a review.
