A group of disability coordinators from various schools around the country have been asked to highlight elements that have created successful experiences with voice-to-text services as well as elements which were not successful. Areas such as accuracy, ease of use, equipment and student training are discussed. Some schools chose to give students a 'bag of equipment' and say go for it. This is contrasted with the educational institutions who provide all the equipment and an assistant to the student who sets up all services. One can learn from both strategies and take the key elements of successful programs and employ them with their stakeholders, regardless of budgetary limitations. |
