Dear all,
Some years ago, a VI student asked me to look into this. They had experience of using a screenreader and, due to other conditions, needed to look into speech recognition.
At the time, Dragon and Jaws needed an additional piece of software to the able to “communicate” and we arranged for a demonstration of J-say (http://www.ngtvoice.com/products/software/astec/j-say/).
I don’t know if this is still the case.
Best wishes,

Hello
Could somebody recommend software for people with VI - eg, screen reading and software to transfer ideas into a WORD or other Microsoft package? I have heard about Dragon but there are mixed reviews.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Thank you
