Voice Recognition software
I work with learners with dyslexia in East Lothian in Scotland.
I wonder if anyone has any success using voice recogntion software with children, especially those at primary school?
I have blogged about this but only know the theory. This implies that most youngsters find it too cumbersome to work with.
I'd be grateful for any information about ists use in practice.
Many thanks

I have yet to meet anyone who uses it successfully for themselves or for children.
