Disabilities

With over eighteen years experience in computer technology, we can work to ensure people with disabilities have a computing solution to take them forward. We can recommend and supply a range of software that incorporates the latest in speech-to-text and text-to-speech systems, many designed specifically to assist the disabled computer user.

We supply the full range of Nuance/Dragon Systems speech-to-text products, including specialist microphones and dictation machines. We customise most applications to operate by voice, therefore enabling full hands-free capabilities. This can allow users to dictate text at between 120 and 160 words per minute. Users can create documents, enter data, fill in forms, send emails, work on the WWW, and control the desktop - all by voice.

Dragon speech software (NaturallySpeaking®) is ideally suited for people with disabilities, with its ease of use and high accuracy. As well as a 'read back' function, Dragon NaturallySpeaking® offers the user the ability to select words, phrases, and play back the text as spoken allowing you easily to find and correct any misunderstood words.
