Can the full version of the Kurzweil 3000 client software be installed on a tablet or smart phone device?
The Kurzweil 3000 (K3000) software is designed to run on a full Windows or Mac OSX desktop/laptop/tablet operating system (e.g. Windows 7 and higher; Mac OS X 10.9 and higher). Typically a smart phone would not be able to install Kurzweil, however a full Windows or Mac tablet would most likely allow it. If you find your mobile device cannot install Kurzweil, the Kurzweil 3000 Subscription version utilizes a complimentary web app called the Kurzweil 3000 Web App, which can function on most mobile devices that have HTML5 support in their browsers. Please note that as there is a vast amount of HTML5 supported devices, as such we cannot guarantee every device will function 100% properly and are working on improving compatibly as time permits. With this being said, using a Chrome or Firefox browser on these devices will most likely function as expected.
