Quick Overview

While Dyslexics may have difficulty with writing, they are often capable of expressing their ideas very well verbally, so speech recognition has always seemed like a great way for dyslexics to get their ideas down on paper.

Unfortunately, speech recognition software must be trained to a person's voice and in the past this has meant the would-be user having to read substantial amounts of known text before the software could "learn" the user's voice well enough to transcribe it accurately.

The training process was tedious enough for anyone, but verging on impossible for anyone who finds fluent, error free reading a challenge. Even after a mind-numbing amount of training, the results were often disappointing.

Dragon Naturally Speaking has changed the rules.

The amount of training required is drastically reduced (minutes rather than hours), and the accuracy is dramatically improved (up to 99%) compared with what you might have experienced with much older speech recognition programs.

These significant improvements combined with Naturally Speaking's ability to step through the training texts a phrase at a time, and to re-read any training phrase that is initially misread, means that speech recognition is now a viable tool for Dyslexics.
