You may need to right-click an existing tab, and remove the checkmark next to the Custom Tab so that your new custom tab displays. To hide the existing Scan tab, for example, right-click any tab, then choose 'Hide Scan tab.' To create a Custom tab with its own tools tailored to a particular user, right-click any tab, then click Rename Custom Tab, then enter a name for your new tab (e.g., the Student's name). Or, you can simplify the interface by hiding those tabs and creating a new tab with tools specific to a particular user. You can also adjust the tab display in the new UI you can rename existing tabs (Read, Write, and Scan), calling them whatever you like. For example, you can adjust reading speed from slow to fast (Read Menu>Reading Speed>Increase or Decrease). One of K3000's greatest strengths is that it is highly customizable.

Other free Acapela voice packets will install German, Italian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, and alternative English pronunciations (i.e., Australian, UK, and Indian).

After I installed North/South American and European Acapela voice bundles and rebooted the computer, French, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish language options appeared in addition to English. As K3000 can handle multiple languages for text-to-speech, you can download and install foreign language voices at no charge as part of the web license subscription (scroll to bottom of the page here).

A quick check of the Acapela data folder in Kurzweil 3000's Common Files folder showed a folder only for Tracy but none for Will and Heather. The product I installed however, included only Tracy's voice. Users can choose among these male and female voices to hear selected digital text read aloud. K3000 Web V14.21 includes three default high-quality Acapela voices (Heather, Will, and Tracy), all of whom are English speaking. For a video tutorial on using the new UI, see (opens in new tab).

The update is also available for download here. Users of Version 14 with administrative privileges can install the V14.21 update from within the program by clicking Online>Update. Once running, it's easy to switch from new interface to classic interface and back again, but each switch prompts the user to login again.

The new K3000 Web User Interface (UI) currently runs only on Windows PC versions of K3000 Web. It integrates text-to-speech, text highlighters and sticky notes, word prediction, a talking spell checker, a graphic organizer, a language translator to any Google supported language, text-based writing templates, and access to a cloud-based library with no storage limitations. K3000 Web edition includes several digital literacy tools designed for struggling readers and writers.
