On Assistive Technology Internet Modules, Automatic Speech
Recognition module was helpful in explaining what it is, who it helps, and why
use it.
ASR, automatic speech recognition, is a computer application
that allows students to control the computer using speech instead of
typing. In a previously post, I spoke
about an example of this program, Dragon Naturally Speaking. This program allows students to write notes
and papers using their voice. ASR has
many benefits for students with motor or physical disabilities. This tool can be used as an alternative
system for writing, help students with spelling so they can focus more on the
content they are writing, and get students’ ideas down quickly.
As an educator, knowing about ASR programs can help a
multitude of students. By implementing
an ASR program, students can avoid the frustration that comes with not being
able to write their own notes, misspelling, or forgetting ideas.
