[Yr11 Information Technology] OT: Voice recogniction software

[David Dawson]

Dragon is the only one that is any good IMO.
I have used it successfully for years - version 12.5 is excellent  but you have to speak like a newsreader or something to get it to nearly 100%.
It takes an hour or more to train it to get it started.

Try Dragon? Very little hand use. Once voice trained it does the the lot! There is a trial version.

Hello all
Further to my email about Voice Recognition software, would anyone know of anything that could suit a student who has issues with hand writing due to a medical condition. Thought more brains are better than one to work out what we can have as an option.

Thanks in anticipation
Sylvia

Hi all
Hope you had a great break. Just would like some recommendation for voice recognition software. We have a student that stutters slightly but cannot due to disability hand write. So thought using a voice recognition software may assist him. we are looking at Dragon software but if you have any other suggestions would appreciate

Thanks
Sylvia
