Dear All,
We have just installed 2 specialist PC in our lab with the
following software
TextHelp
Wordswork
Inspiration
IBM ViaVoice Executive
to help with written work
Details can be found from the distributers www site at

I will report our experiences to the group when we have tried it all out
with real students.
Best wishes,
Martin
