Thank you.
If we do go this route, price will not deter us from using Dragon. $99
for the base version of DNS is not enough to prevent us from going that
route.

Dragon is great but PRICEY especially if you want to get more than a
few students going with this in separate locations.
We merely install the voice recognition tool from the Office 2003 Pro
setup CD which adds voice capability across nearly all Office
products, even on Office 2007.
This thread online gives info on how we do this at District
207.... http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/microsoft-office-support/178459-solved-voice-recognition-office-2007-xp.html
Totally free if you have access to Office 2003 still and works pretty
well. Yes, you will have to have the SPED students do some voice
training before it's 95% accurate. Dragon gets more accurate much
faster but again it's costly.

Is anyone using voice recognition software with special needs
students? We have a high school student who has severe
physical limitations - I think he has Muscular Dystrophy. He
is taking a high school composition class where the students
do a lot of writing. We are looking into the feasibility of
getting him a laptop with voice recognition software and I was
wondering if anyone has tried this.
What works? What doesn't work?
I am reading that the built-in voice recognition in Windows 7
is pretty good but I think that I would want a "little more"
for a project like this - possibly Dragon Naturally Speaking.
So does anyone do something like this?
