Where I post assorted thoughts and links relating to learning, specifically learning difficulties, learning disabilities, dyslexia, dysgraphia, "dyscalculia" and all the other reasons people struggle with numbers and math and arithmetic, reading, Orton-Gillingham stuff and ... whatever!

DNS and Thick Accent

Tried Dragon Naturally Speaking with a second language student -- complete washup. Took multiple attempts to get through the two sentences to get to training, and then... nope. It's a thick European accent, with lots of different consonants and vowels.

On the other hand, Read and Write Gold is a serious hit. She really likes hearing the correctly pronounced words. So, we'll do a few exercises and apply that bad boy. (Note to self: remember to make the jump to "apply it to your otehr work!")
