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
