I have been asked recently about students using voice input in exams.
Has anybody got any experience of using voice input in exams - are
there any pitfalls? Does the accuracy change significantly under the
stress of exams? How much extra time should be allowed? Do they
also need some kind of extra technical backup available, or
somebody familiar with the software in case of problems or errors?
Are there any other questions to consider? The students in question
have dyslexia and are very slow writers who don't want to use
amanuensis. The software they would be using is Via Voice (natural
speech)
I would appreciate any comments.
Thankyou
