Example text
Also, a similar pattern for text length was observed, with simulated SR texts being longer than handwritten texts, but shorter than dictated texts. In an assessment of holistic quality, we found that simulated SR texts did not differ from traditionally dictated texts, but that both were significantly superior to handwritten texts. The results of this second experiment suggest important points about the composing of children with LD. Here again, we observed that dictating (in either traditional or simulated SR modes) helped make children more fluent.
2 The Text Produced So Far and Writing Media Since speech recognition brings together the oral and the written representation of text, we would like to describe speech recognition as a hybrid writing mode. It combines characteristics of both classical dictating and keyboard-based word processing. Especially the new characteristics of the ‘text produced so far’ play a crucial role in writing with speech recognition. We think speech recognition has three particular points of interest related to the interaction with the text produced so far: visibility of the text produced so far, moment of visual feedback, and the correctness of the visual representation.
By law, students with disabilities are entitled to accommodations, or modified test procedures, to remove barriers due to their disabilities, as long as the accommodations do not change the construct measured by the test. The study compared the effects of speech recognition, dictation to a person who typed on a visible screen, and handwriting on the writing of high school students with and without LD. In a repeated measures design, all students received training in speech recognition and then wrote essays in all three conditions.
