It may be a bit more forgiving for speech recognition. Katie, you may want to try SpeakQ. It may be a bit more forgiving for speech recognition.

The only other thing I have read about is the electronics that will speak for you, but that would not your student to communicate with the written word. This is the best user-friendly software that I have come across. You can be sure that if I find something better, I will write about it. So sorry. Katie,

I installed Dragon on Student 1 laptop and this student is succesfully using the software. Student 2 has speech that presents as more dysarthric. Articulator placement is less precise. Dragon will not read Student 2's speech. We trained it a word at a time. I typed it in the training component and Student 2 spoke. This will take a long time and I would put in the time but it is still on 25% accurate. Is there other software, hardware out there. Any strategies to suggest to help student 2. Student 2 is extremely smart. Thanks I am a speech teacher and I work with two students who are in the 8th grade and have CP.

You are an encouragement to the students you help, I am sure. I am glad you like the blog. I hope you come back and add more comments and suggestions. Let me know, if you think of a topic I should write about that would benefit your students. Tina Jamie,

I am a huge supporter of students having the opportunity to get this software and train it during their secondary school years as they get ready to transition to post-secondary life. I am currently finishing my BS degree in exceptional student education at the University of Central Florida. I have worked as an education advocate in central Florida for 8 years and I have recommended this software to many of my clients of varying exceptionalities. I love your blog! Keep up the good work!
