We have an IPAD2 so it doesn't have it's own dictation system. I wonder if this will get better as she gets older. [quote]
I'm fairly certain DS has an iPad2 - you can access dictation in most apps - look for a key that looks like a microphone on the iPad keyboard to turn it on.
[quote=knute974]My DD13 uses Dragon with no problem (no dysgraphia issues, she just finds it faster than typing).
Our previous school really fought the idea that ds should ever move to voice-to-text - as well as many other AT accommodations. I remember walking into the office on day, totally battle-weary and feeling like no one at school would ever understand why it was ok to move ds to AT over handwriting - to pick up a copy of a draft IEP. When I walked into the school office, each of the school administrative assistants was... um.. talking to Dragon lol! I started looking around and realizing - there are a lot of very neurotypical folks out there using voice-to-text! And ds didn't discover the built-in voice-to-text until a classmate found it while playing around on his own iPad - and all the kids in his class thought it was cool, and ds isn't the only student who uses it.
