Hello,

This topic has come up several times in the past.  I've recently had a chance to play with Respondus with a couple different pieces of AT and wanted to report my findings.  I have been told in the past that Dragon NaturallySpeaking does not work with Respondus, but I discovered that if you disable the dictation box, it actually does!  If you go into the "Misc" tab of Dragon options and uncheck the box that says "Use dictation box for unsupported applications," it works.  Since Respondus is not considered a supported application, the dictation box attempts to pop up and is blocked by Respondus.  If you disable the dictation box, Dragon sees the edit boxes on the exam and fills them when you speak.

Also, Respondus worked with my screen reader without any issues.  I've read, too, that Texthelp Read and Write works with Respondus, going into a minimal mode so that only certain features are accessible during a test.

Here is where I found this information:
