Any application preferences? I need recommendations for speech recognition software to be used by special needs students in grades 4-8. My Special Ed director has heard that the software that is really working in schools is Dragon's Naturally Speaking on PC's and that it is not available for Macs (we are an all Mac school) nor does it work with Virtual PC. We've been told that the problem with many voice recognition systems is that they don't work well with children's voice range. I'd appreciate hearing experiences of other schools.
