I do not have a voice-user system yet but want to look into one andhave
some questions. ANy input or ideas anyone has would be helpful.
I have a son who is 6 and has Cerebral palsy. He is very bright but can
only use one hand and it is not as coordinated as a fellow 6 year old.
He can type fairly with one finger but of course is slow and has a very
hard time using a pencil. I think a dictating system would be great but
don't know how complicated it is or what age they would work best for.
I went to a presentation on a system called Drag AND Dictate but the
vendor did not make it so someone using the product stood up and spoke
and I asked if this was different from DragonDictate and they said yes.
Does anyone know where to find the varity of programs availabel. I was
told that the on the shelf IBM programs would not be good for a childs
voice nd inconsitancies. Thanks!! Barbara
