Speech Recognition Software

I teach a class called Speech Recognition Software. I use Dragon Naturally Speaking software

and the textbook Nifty 59. The Dragon Software is very good for those students who have difficulty actually writing (typing) whether it is because of a physical disability or a learning disability. The book really has step by step lessons and exercises, which makes it very easy to work through for the student. It really is great software to facilitate the typing process for some people. If the software is trained well enough the user has the possibility of it accurately typing 120 words a minute.

With that said it may not be the best software for someone who has difficulty reading and writing. And in all fairness it was not really created for someone with difficulty in those areas. For that I would suggest finding some other software that is made with the LD student in mind.
