[senit] Voice recognition

Hi Chris

CALL has some excellent voice recognition resources, including a
downloadable PDF 13 page information sheet which exlores issues surrounding
voice recognition for pupils/schools etc.

ntrosr_prb.html

There's also a good example on the Assist-I.T. site of someone using voice
recognition to compile a spreadsheet.

AbilityNet also have a very good Factsheet on voice recognition and
dyslexia:

lexia%20and%20Voice%20Recognition%20Software.pdf 

Hope this helps

I've been asked about speech recognition as a means for a student to
'write up their work at home'.
Has anything happened recently to suggest that the panacea has finally
arrived?
I know Wrawickshire DISCS ran a project but I can't find any info on
their site.
Becta doesn't offer anything of note.
Has anyone successfully used any systems with mainstream secondary aged
pupils?
Any suggestions please folks, eother of research to read or first hand
experience?

Thanks
Oh yes and is there any corelation between pushy parents who think ICT
is THE solution and disinterested students?
