Microsoft's Speech Recognition software is FREE. Students can learn to dictate their work, using a microphone, and can control Windows using only their voice! There is a tutorial which will guide you through how to use this program, which is not only teaching, but adapting to the student's voice at the same time. Watch one of our Year 5 students discovering his power over the computer!!
