Dragon Naturally Speaking is a dictation package enabling users to dictate
directly into text.  Clicker 4 is a totally different thing altogther.

Clicker 4 enables the teacher to create grids of words, pictures, web links,
sound and movie files which the learner can use in their work or for their
work.  For a 14 year old Wordbar is a much more appropriate package.  Works
in a similar way to Clicker 4 but is much more 'adult' in appearance and can
hold banks of 100s of words and phrases.

Can someone tell me the difference between Clicker 4 and Dragon naturally
Speaking and which would be best for a school to purchase for a 14year old
severely dyslexic boy - for use at school.
