- What it is
- A single-case study of eight middle school students, four in Norway and four in Sweden, who wrote with speech to text after an intensive intervention. Keyboarding was the baseline condition.
- How much weight it carries
- Peer-reviewed. A single-case design with eight students and no control group, so the gains cannot be attributed to the software alone. The students had writing difficulties, not only dyslexia.
Facts taken from this source
- In a 2024 single-case study of eight middle school students, seven of the eight increased their text productivity when they wrote with speech to text, against a keyboarding baseline.
“The results demonstrated that seven of the eight students increased text productivity and that the proportion of word-level accuracy was maintained or improved.” (Abstract)
