recorder and book and met up each week or few days at the library to get the mp3 files off Dragon supported voice recorder and then deliver the files to the student requiring it. We compensated the reader for their time as a contract worker. So we had both
the recordings and speech to text ready for future students.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
