It all started with one clever & perseverant ten-year-old
boy & one harried, but well-meaning teacher (me). Pierce struggled with the
same cruel disparity that haunts many dyslexic students: weak written expression
concomitant with exceptional ideas, knowledge & intellectual abilities. I
was always looking to find strategies to help him get his great ideas into the
content of his writing. Although I had serious doubts about the iPads's
speech-to-text feature for classroom work, I thought it was worth a try. After
several days, I almost fell out of my chair when Pierce commented that he was
making real progress and he thought he should use the iPad speech to text for
all his writing. Say what? I asked him to show me what he had been
writing. (From the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity) http://dyslexia.yale.edu/EDU_SpeechToTextRedford.html
