I spoke with a very nice man from Voiceworks Limited, PO Box 113, Edgware,
London, HA8 8WX 0181 455 4750 who has had some success with a user with CP
who works for Scope, might be worth talking to him (I think his name was
John - aren't they all- sorry)
Hope that helps
Chris

Subject: Voice rec. with CP
Hi folks.
We have a student with Cerebral Palsy who is seeking to replace
her computer equipment and, as well as appropriate hardware
including a keyboard with keyguard, is interested in the possibility
of using voice recognition. Her keyboarding has always been very
slow and now she is getting shoulder problems which severely
restrict the time she can spend at a keyboard.
Her voice is rather soft but consistent and understandable - at least
to the human ear. She has tried both Dragon NatSpeak and Via
Voice Gold but the initial recognition is so poor that this route
seems futile. Has anyone had more success with other packages,
possibly discrete rather than continuous?
Any other ideas?
Thanks
