Naturally Speaking Voice Recognition Software

Here's another example of assistive technology...

Naturally Speaking Voice Recognition Software turns your talk into text!  It can make computer tasks easier and faster, as this software also allows the user to use voice commands to control many programs on the computer.  The software takes some set up (voice acclimation) and getting used to, but after that grace period it is apparently very easy to use.  Dragon is a very popular brand of this type of software.

Students who may benefit from this software are students with poor fine motor control and students with limited mobility/no hand use -- they only need their voice for this!  It could also be helpful for students who have trouble with spelling, ADD/ADHD (as it requires a little less attention than writing).  Also, this software can decrease the amount of time a task takes; it works as fast as you can talk!
