We had a student who produced voice recordings for essays etc. He used
the services of a typist to transcribe the recordings into a format that
could be marked by his tutors. It was an interactive process, as once
the typist had produced the initial copy, the student could use TextHelp
and make amendments. The production of a word-processed document was
therefore useful to the student as well as the staff. The cost of the
typist was met via the DSA.

Hello all,
I have a student with severe dyslexia, who is doing a Photography
course.
She is really struggling with the written side of the course, and has
asked
if she would be able to make audio recordings of essays, rather than
word-
processing them. The department have said no, as they feel it would be
difficult for them to mark.
I have discussed the possibility of her using Dragon, but am worried
that
she would have to proof-read very carefully - a task that she finds
difficult - and that she says 'um' and 'er' a lot, which would make it
difficult to use voice recognition software.
Does anyone have experience of students making audio recordings of
coursework?
Thank you,
Becky
