Hi Sylvia.  My experience suggests that voice recognition is not too
reliable even when used by fluent and fastidious practitioners of Received
Pronunciation.  
I suspect It would be much less useful for a person with a speech defect.  

And a lot of tedious training is required to get the software to decipher
any individual's speech. 

Can the student type?

The use of a keyboard is a commonly-allowed special consideration for VCE
students with handwriting deficiencies. 

I've not heard of cases of electronic speech recognition being permitted.

Regards
Mark

Hi all 
Hope you had a great break. Just would like some recommendation for voice
recognition software. We have a student that stutters slightly but cannot
due to disability hand write. So thought using a voice recognition software
may assist him. we are looking at Dragon software but if you have any other
suggestions would appreciate 

Thanks

Sylvia
