There are training workbooks available. 2 major advantages over any of the other dictation applications that are available is that Dragon NaturallySpeaking allows for voice navigation as well as offers a MouseGrid on the screen which allows the voice to move the mouse. Feel free to contact me off list if you need more information about Dragon NaturallySpeaking. With some dedicated practice – 20 minutes a day for 2 weeks or so – the student can become relatively adept at the program, will be able to create a voice profile, will be able to complete training in simple to moderately complex dictation, learn how to edit & correct misrecognitions, how to train new vocabulary words, and how to use the MouseGrid.<br><br>Hope this information is helpful, although the news about Metroplex Voice Computing going out of business is not good news.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br><br clear="all"></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Wink Harner<br></div>Accessibility Consultant/Alternative Text Production<br></div>The Foreign Type<br><br></div></div>Portland OR<br><a href="mailto:foreigntype@gmail.com" target="_blank">foreigntype@gmail.com</a><br><br></div><div>This email was dictated using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am working with a quadriplegic student who needs to take a math course next quarter. The student typically uses a stylus held in their mouth on a tablet to type and do some homework.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking into getting the student set up with Dragon and Math Talk to be able to do math verbally but this will take some time as the student does not yet have a computer equipped with this tech.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What other solutions have you used for students with similar barriers? Are there other tech options out there that we aren’t thinking of? Do you provide a scribe for homework for this kind of situation?
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks so much in advance! <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
