[Trainer-Talk] Using Dictation and a Screen Reader

[Snow, Amy L. (IT)]

Good morning,

It's been quite a while since I've worked with a student who is exploring use of dictation software on a PC but also needs to use a screen reader.  This particular individual has not been able to master touch typing (we are not really sure why) but can perform some basic navigation with the screen reader.  The student is using JAWS.

As a side note, the student is very competent using an iPhone and performing the necessary gestures.  Also, speech is very intelligible with no sign of any sort of speech impediment.

Has anyone had experience with an individual with these needs?  I'd love to hear the tools you are using to make this possible.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!
Amy
