Voice recognition software can be very useful for many reasons and for many different disabilities. Voice recognition software converts your speech into typed text.

If you have problems with your hands or arms and find typing difficult this software can remove the need to use a keyboard and mouse.

If you have problems with spelling or poor short-term memory difficulties, this software can remove the need to spell problematic words and allows you to get your ideas onto the page before you lose track of them.
