Voice recognition software is hardly new--attempts at capturing spoken words and turning them into written text have been available to consumers for about two decades. But what was once an expensive and highly unreliable tool has made great strides in recent years, perhaps most recognized in programs such as Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking (which is now in version 9). Adam Krass, assistive technology specialist for the Bergen County Special Services School District in New Jersey, uses voice recognition software (specifically, Dragon NaturallySpeaking) when working with some of his students. Having extensive experience with using these systems in the classroom, Krass says voice recognition is becoming an increasingly viable tool. This article describes the benefits of voice recognition software to students.
