Writing and Assistive Technology

Speech-to-text, also known as speech recognition, is replacing word processing and word prediction. Recently, it has improved dramatically and is usually a built in feature with new products (i.e., tablets, smartphones, TVs, cars, and glasses).  Unlike dictating to a tape recorder, speech-to-text can display text for the student and be repeatedly read as often as needed.
