Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this software for my 3rd grade dyslexic daughter from [...]. She loves it! I am tempted to get another one for me for work as well. We definitely speak faster that typing at 100 words a minute.
I first used this software about 9 years ago when I was teaching special education at the high school level. It has greatly improved since then. There are not nearly as many mistakes and the training process (teaching the computer to understand the way you speak/your accent) is simpler. It took about a half hour for her to train and she picked up on the phrases right away! She really enjoys writing emails to family now and controlling websites and Windows programs with her voice. She will start using it at school next week.
I'm so glad that she has a way to get her thoughts on screen/paper. She is creative, but was getting so frustrated with spelling that she began to shy away from writing. I believe will make a huge difference in her education.
If you are purchasing this for someone who is blind or dyslexic, you might need to whisper in his/her ear what the type says on the screen during training. Also, talking naturally in phrases or sentences before pausing works better than waiting for the word to come up before saying the next word. It uses the context to help figure out which words to use. For example, it will wait to hear the rest of a sentence when you start off with the word "There"/"Their"/"They're". If you want to have it include automatic punctuation (commas, periods, question marks, exclamation points) you can set it that way. I chose to turn it off so that my daughter has to tell it the punctuation to improve her writing skills.
I am really impressed with the advances this software has made over the years. There are also versions that work with phones/bluetooth and other devices, I believe. Enjoy!
