[Athen] Aerospace engineering student with chronic wrist/hand pain

[foreigntype at gmail.com]

The only math dictation software currently available is EquatIO that I’m
aware of. It has achieved reliable speech recognition in some levels of
math. Not sure how high it goes. I’ll check and get back to you.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 15 or 16 individual professional will do a fairly
good job with voice navigation and the ability to control the mouse/cursor
on a grid superimposed on the screen. May be customized with macros to
perform or repeat functions, text, or mouse/cursor actions.

Perhaps there’s can contribute to the resources for your student, Justin.

Update us with more information after you meet with the student and we’ll
be able to make additional suggestions.
