I've noticed that many of the Special Education teachers are very innovative and interested in Sugar.
I've seen a great deal of interest in Text to Speech. Students with severe enough disabilities to qualify get Kurzweil, but it costs $1000 for a one seat licence! http://www.kurzweiledu.com/default.aspx More kids could benefit from text to speech then get it and with Sugar they could afford to give it to everyone. The potential issue is we probably can't match all of Kruzweil's features and it could be a problem if the students with severe disabilities aren't getting as good a product. I'm curious if anyone has played with Wine on Sugar and how well it would work to let some kids still have access to Kurzweil even when using Sugar? Also does anyone know what they are using in Uruguay with vision impaired students?
