Hello!

Here is the version with my revisions......................................LVN has a hand-dexterity limitation and has difficulty with note-taking and writing. To help accommodate her needs, a Windows Accessibility feature (a voice-recognition assistive feature) and a laptop were recommended for her, in an Assistive Technology Evaluation conducted on 3/29/12. She currently has received the following items: 1. LATITUDE 2120 laptop with 1 GB RAM, 2. Microsoft Office 2010, and 3. Plantronics headset with a USB adaptor (no internal or external DVD/CD ROM was supplied with this laptop). The laptop runs slowly due to insufficient RAM. During the voice-recognition testing, the usage of memory on the Windows Task Manager showed to be over 70 percent, and the single-core CPU maxed out at 100 percent often that her system sometimes would hang up. The school staff reported that LVN did not have a trial of the voice-recognition assistive feature during her previous assessment. According to her case manager, LVN has not been able to use the laptop because her voice was not recognized by the Windows Accessibility voice-recognition assistive feature. The evaluator noticed that the audio setting on the system was configured differently than that on her Plantronics headset. During the second visit, LVN worked on a voice-recognition training by using Notepad to reserve resources. Her voice was occasionally recognized as long as she spoke clearly and her surrounding was quiet. Recommendations: LVN’s current system has a single-core processor and the RAM can be only expanded to 2GB. Because her system resolution cannot be set to 1024x768, she is not able to go through the Windows Accessibility Voice Recognition Tutorial. Because LVN has still two years of school remaining, it is recommended that LVN receive a system with better configurations. A voice-recognition assistive feature is not recommended for use in a noisy environment such as a classroom. If the school staff wishes to continue exploring the voice-recognition assistive feature for LVN, they may consider having her test with Dragon Naturally Speaking (minimum system requirement: 2.2 GHz Intel dual core or equivalent AMD processor and 4GB RAM), if she can test on a system with these configurations. However, it is also important to recognize that individuals often get frustrated with the inaccuracy of voice recognition and ultimately this software may not be a suitable option. Regarding classroom accommodations, it is more critical to identify note-taking options. During the visit, a smart pen (Live Scribe pen) was introduced and LVN was able to use this pen to record the conversation with her case manager. The evaluator introduced LVN to an additional audio note-taking option: Sonocent software. It will be essential for her to try these options in the actual classroom to evaluate the true viability. Plan: The integration of additional assistive-technology-device options and strategies will help LVN access her curriculum in a more independent fashion. LVN and the identified school team members will review upgrading her system, explore note-taking options, and determine where LVN can use the voice-recognition assistive feature for a written-production tool at school.
