Voice Recognition Software

Some students may find it useful to input computer text, or control applications by using voice commands instead of via the keyboard or mouse.

The Adaptive Technology Centre is currently using Dragon Naturally Speaking (Version 7.0) for continuous text entry and control of some applications. Students can be trained in the use of voice recognition software to assist them with essay writing, research and in some cases examinations. Centre staff may also assist students to set up their own voice recognition computer system at home by providing advice and support related to the purchase and setup of software and hardware.
