MAIN FEATURES
|
What
is it used for?
What are it's main features? |
The
text help screen reader helps me to read all the work on the computer.
Spell checker can tell you the meanings of words which sound the same but
look different, e.g. - there/their (homophones.)
The word prediction feature is a bit temperamental. |
GUIDES FOR USE
|
Are
there instructions/a manual? How easy are they to follow? |
Some
parts are easy and would need help to fully understand. The tour guide goes
through each bit clearly and the speaking figure has a sense of humour. |
EASE OF USE
|
How
easy is it to use with a common sense approach? |
Once
you've gone through the tour guide it is fairly straightforward. |
GOOD POINTS
|
What
do you feel are the most helpful features for dyslexics? |
a)
To read something off the Internet.
b) To write essays etc.
c) To work on correcting spelling.
d) Gives you more confidence to use a computer. |
BAD POINTS
|
What
is disappointing about this software? |
The
word prediction facility works when it feels like it. The voice is very
robot-like and it takes sometime to get used to it. |
VALUE FOR MONEY
|
How
much does it cost and is it good value? |
£95
(+vat)
It is a lot of money but well worth it if you afford it. |
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
|
Any
other comments?
Ways it could be improved? |
You
don't have to do that thing where you have to ask someone "what does
that say?" It gives you freedom and control. |
