I’ve seen this method transform a student’s world when he or she could use speech to text to get their thoughts into written form. ![]() Students who have difficulty communicating, such as some students on an IEP, can really benefit from using speech to text software. However, there are places where it is appropriate and even beneficial for students to put their thoughts onto paper through an intermediary method, speech to text software. I realize that the need to write directly from thought to paper is a requirement for some state tests, so this method wouldn’t apply in that case.

Speech-to-text can be a real game-changer in the classroom, especially for students who have difficulty getting their thoughts onto paper.
