VoiceNote: Another Excellent Voice-to-Text App for Google Chrome | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

Once again Paul Hamilton brings us another great tool to use with Chrome, VoiceNote. He states that it "offers excellent voice-to-text...VoiceNote opens as a dictation window." Therefore it may "sit on top of a document being written" (or occupy your entire screen). A few of the features he mentions are:

* dictating directly into a text box facilitates creating paragraphs or longer selections of text

* on-screen buttons for adding punctuation

* suport for multiple languages

"Voice Recognition software has made impressive gains in recent years. With the advent of handheld touch screen devices, it is making its way into everyday life for a growing number of people. Moreover, voice recognition is rapidly becoming more accurate. This is great news for individuals who struggle with writing!"

This post provides options for iOS, Androic, Mac/PC/Linux (all via a browser) and PC (online or off line). The focus is on the use of speech recognition for writing.  

This list of tools helps to provide options for many students who struggle with writing or keyboarding...think of Universal Design for Learning as you consider using them."
