Dear all,
Has anyone used a voicing software program, such as Dragon Naturally
Speaking, to allow a beginning FL student with severe dyslexia to
complete written assignments? I doubt this would even work because of
the demands of training the program to recognize a voice. Can anyone
offer effective alternatives to producing written work for a beginning
foreign language (in this case, French) course?
Thanks much,
Tammy
