Kurzweil 3000 is the most popular text-reading tool out there. It's great for students who have physical disabilities that prevent them from accessing books, or for students with reading deficits. I found it very intuitive and easy to use. Students can change the speed at which text is read, and alter the voice that is reading the text. Additionally, teachers and students can place notes on the text as they read.
However, the process of scanning and preparing text is longer than one would expect. While the program is mostly accurate, it sometimes misread words or symbols on the page. Scanning entire chapters or books, and ensuring that the text is read correctly can be extremely time-consuming.
