Dragon Dictation


Do you have a problem with your students writing, especially on the iPad?  Well, you should try this app I found called Dragon Dictation.

Dragon Dictation is an easy-to-use voice recognition application powered by Dragon® NaturallySpeaking® that allows you to easily speak and instantly see your text or email messages. In fact, it’s up to five (5) times faster than typing on the keyboard.

With Dragon Dictation you can also dictate status updates directly to your Social Networking applications (Facebook and Twitter) or send notes and reminders to yourself….all using your voice.

Dragon Dictation supports a multitude of global languages. For a full list of currently supported languages visit www.dragonmobileapps.com.

 Dragon allows students to compose their writing orally by speaking into the iPad or to type their writing by reading it aloud.  Students can even add punctuation by speaking the name of the proper mark.  This is of great use for students for whom the process of writing or typing is too much of a chore to allow for the creative expression of their ideas and those whose spelling gets in the way of their completing sentences.

I was looking on Google for apps to use for reading intervention and this app popped up.  The YouTube video below is a couple years old but goes over the gist of it.  I installed it on my phone and it is SO easy and recorded everything I said PERFECTLY - even when I said "exclamation point"!
