Dear Tony

I have migrated a dragon user profile for students at this university in the past. We have a higher specification laptop which has been bought for this purpose. Before the exam we make an arrangement with the student to bring along their saved profile import it on to the University laptop and test it using the students own microphone or one of ours if they prefer to make sure everything is as satisfactory as possible to all parties.

Good Evening and a Happy New Year,

 

I would be interested to hear from other HEIs how you have supported students in exams who need to use speech recognition ie: Dragon Naturally Speaking.  Do you:

 

·    Allow the student to use their own Lap Top computer which has their own Dragon license and is working well with the student – however how do you screen the computer?

·    Or provide them with a “clean” computer which they will need time to train the software up to an acceptable level for sitting an exam – attending training sessions with them so no files find themselves onto the computer etc

 

Any help will be appreciated , Thank you

 

Kind regards and best wishes
