kurzweil

toc =Kurzweil= Just an FYI on process and getting IIT actions completed. If in the discourse below you develop an action you would like IIT to undertake then I request that the next step be to start a Snoopy Help Request so that the task gets integrated into the actual work queue of the department. -Mike

**Issue:** Read the Web (RTW) on PCs
Can IIT staff contact Kurzweil Tech Support and ask what the best way to setup Read The Web on Kurzweil 3000 PC is? It would be preferable to have a remedy which does not require all users to go and set their options individually (Tools, Options, reading, Select Internet Explorer (Firefox 3 does not currently work with the Add on Read the Web)). Also asking when a Read the Web add on for PC Firefox 3 will be available. -Roger 10/14/08 Norm reports there looks like there is a fix for Firefox 3, at least on the Windows side. Roger recommends testing on Karen Parks' machine. (There is a snoopy for some missing desktop folders on her machine already.)
 * Proposed Actions:**

Issue: Read the Web on Macs
Ask support If Firefox 2 Mac the only browser Kurzweil RTW works on? -Roger When will the Firefox RTW Add on be released for Firefox 3 Mac? -Roger
 * Proposed Actions:**

Issue: Data Logs on Kurzweil Servers
Is there a way to keep statistics on the Kurzweil server that may help us collect data to use in evaluating this initiative? Contact Kurzweil and ask where and how data might be stored. -Roger
 * Proposed Actions:**

Issue: Does an Optiplex GX260 meet the Kurzweil System requirements?
Can you review these requirements and tell me if the Optiplex GX260 in Karen parks room meets these?
 * Proposed actions:**

YES, the 260 meets the requirements, if it has 512 MB. of memory in it. If it doesn't yet, we can add more.

Hello! Amy and I were talking about all the great things my kids are starting to do with Kurzweil and we thought it would be great to have Kurzweil available to the backroom, as well as the front room. Amy has a dell gx 260 ,that she says runs ok. If that computer can't handle kurweil, maybe she could get a new one, like mentioned in Brigit Cooper's tech email. Please let us know what you think or if any of this is possible. Thanks, Karen
