This software helps out many types of people including those who are dyslexic, have trouble in reading or writing, and those with physical disabilities such as James. The speech recognition software works by taking words spoken through a microphone and translating them into text onto the computer. This software would be appropriate for not only use at home but at school as well. Students with disablities could use this assistive technology to complete assignments and projects in the classroom. This is a great tool for inclusion. James says that there are many good things about speech recognition therapy. He says that this technology makes life easier. However his complaints with the technology are that it does not always work well and he feels like his writing is not actually his work. Overall speech recognition software is a very helpful piece of assistive technology.
