CRITERIA
AND EVALUATION FOR STUDENT'S POTENTIAL USE OF SPEECH
RECOGNITION |
Speech recognition is
the process of transforming speech into actions or
text on the computer, replacing or minimizing the
need for keyboard or mouse control. It has
tremendous potential and benefit for many, many
students with disabilities. The technology has
improved rapidly, and as it becomes more accurate
and more affordable, it opens the door to potential
for more students than ever before. However,
it's important to continually remember that it is
not a 'plug & play' technology. It requires
extensive training and many hours of support and
practice. It also needs ongoing patience,
perseverance and persistence before the outcomes of
improved performance and independence will be
evident. These evaluation and criteria items
on the form will provide a basis for determining if
participation in a trial or training and practice
using speech recognition would be beneficial for a
student. Click
