[Sugar-devel] 2 idea's to train people dyslexia

2009-09-16 Thread Marten Vijn
Hi,

I am not a dyslexia expert, maybe a bit more that average.

idea 1
Today I read in a newspaper that it helps people
to let them hear what they (words not the characters).

People made commerial software for and improved really
the performance of kids. 

idea 2
typetrainers (learning to type with 10 fingers)
tend to teach character by character . 
Teaching by words would be way better since people 
use the word image (not the character by character scanning)

idea 3
I combination of 1 and 2 maybe creates new use cases
in developed countrys like mine. 


A remix of speak (like a always on button) would do a major job I think


2ct

*Actually I do knwo a lot about dyslexia, like that is really annoying
not being capable to write normal emails without make errors. 
No patches seem to be availible. 

Training young kids _in time_ prevents a lot frustration, dropouts from
school and waste of very creative talented kids.

My son would have a  50% change of being born with it too. So having
having a good educational toolset seems important. 

cheers
