Hi Jim, Have you considered and iPad with Dragon Dictation? The Dragon App is free for the iPad and iPod Touch. Apple earphones have a microphone, so your student could use that in conjunction with the iPad or iPod Touch with dragon dictation.
If you are interested, I can arrange for a demo iPod with the software installed. Let me know if I can help. -Tim Tim Grimes Apple, Inc. 314.954.6325: mobile 314.667.3561: fax [email protected] For immediate assistance, please contact: Andrew Schoss Inside Account Executive 512.674.6831: phone 866.646.0760: Fax [email protected] Order Status: apple.com/orderstatus or 800.800.2775 x 4 Tech Support: 800.800.2775 x 3 Education Store: apple.com/education/store On Sep 1, 2010, at 11:16 AM, JimHays wrote: > Is anyone using voice recognition software with special needs students?
