We were able to setup Dragon Naturally Speaking to auto punctuate the problem is it wants to type every bleeding sound in the room no matter what mic we put on it and how we adjust the mic gain. You can imagine how incoherent that is for the deaf student and the associate trying to improve accuracy on Dragon.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf OfRichardson,Tony Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 1:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [info-tech] Note taking for deaf student Hello all, We have a deaf student in our High School and are trying to figure out how to get the teachers lecture visually recorded for him everyday. The Special Ed people have tried Dragon Naturally Speaking and wireless Bluetooth headsets and an associate to go along with him. You can imagine how badly that works. How are other districts handling the deaf students? Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Tony Richardson Technology Coordinator Humboldt Community School District <image001.jpg> [email protected]
