AT for School Age: Automatic Speech Recgontion (ASR)



The last module I completed through the Assistive Technology Internet Modules, AT for School Age, was Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). This module focused on the resources available to students with physical and learning disabilities, brain damage, autism, or speech disorders such as dysarthria that allows speech-to-text communication. The module listed numerous resources available at inexpensive costs that assist students and individuals in communicating needs, delivering content, or completing commands such as shutting down the computer or commands on house hold appliances. These resources allow students to focus on the content rather than struggle with mechanics and grammar. These devices have changed over the years and have improved their speech recognition to make it easier and more effective for the users.  Some of these resources include but are not limited to SIRI on the apple Iphone, Dragon Naturally Speaking, Dragon Dictate, Speak Q, and Windows 7 and 8- built in voice recognition.
