Technical Support
Two years ago, Texthelp and Don Johnston Inc joined forces to provide the most comprehensive suite of tools for students and educators. The time has come to bring Snap&Read and Co:Writer into the Read&Write toolbar.
We’re so pleased to bring the best parts of our literacy technology into one tool.
As of December 31, 2024, you will no longer be able to purchase Co:Writer licences. You will have access to your current tools and we’ll continue to provide full support until December 31, 2025.
Co:Writer uses grammar-smart and vocabulary-smart word prediction, translation supports, and speech recognition to help unstick ideas and get them to flow in writing.
To our valued Snap&Read and Co:Writer Customers… changes coming to your tools, and what we are doing to minimize disruptions for users and educators.

Co:Writer works on all the major platforms including Chromebooks, iPads, PCs, and Macs. It works with Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Schoology, Google Classroom, Canvas, and more. Co:Writer also works where you need it like Google’s Locked Quizzes, Docs, Slides, TestNav*, Microsoft Word, email, etc. You can even use it to annotate PDFs in Snap&Read’s PDF Reader and within Orbit Note.
Setup is easy with a variety of supports and configurations such as SSO, Google OUs, Google Classroom classes, Domain licensing, LTI app, and more.
