I have been working with a teacher who has a student that cannot type. The teacher came to me with a goal of the student being able to engage in word processing applications to complete basic school work tasks. The student had been using the software Dragon Dictate on a computer; however, the student was frustrated that the software was not accurate.
I looked into the free Dragon App from I Tunes and how it would work with our I-Pod Touches we have on inventory. The app version is very clear and accurate. The only step left was to bring the text from Dictate into a usable form. The steps below lay out a simple and easy plan for students who need similar accommodations. Please note that these steps could be applied on an I-Phone, I-Pad, or I-Pod Touch.
1. Download free Dragon Dictate App from I-Tunes
2. Set up your e-mail account on your device. I suggest utilizing your Hotmail, GMail, etc. for the simple fact that you will not need to mess with ensuring domain/server settings.
3. Dictate into your device
4. Tap the icon in the lower right hand corner- select send to e-mail
5. Send the text to your e-mail account
6. Copy and paste into your word processing software
7. Edit and save as needed.
