He is using DNS because he cannot type out his essays.
He can verbally express himself better through dictation and having DNS transcribe it for him.
I was just wondering if there was any other technology out there that does a similar job as DNS.

Thanks,
Liza

I'm curious why DNS is regarded as a solution for someone with low vision. Why isn't the person using screen magnification such as ZoomText? That also is an pretty good reading tool when it works.

Hi,
Does anyone know of any alternative programs to Dragon Naturally Speaking for someone who has low-vision? Plus the student that I'm working with cannot read so having Dragon read the text back to him for proofreading is a very lengthy process.
Thanks,
Liza
