- What it is
- A Swedish study comparing the revisions children made while composing text with speech to text and with a keyboard. It contrasts children with reading and writing difficulties and a reference group without them.
- How much weight it carries
- Peer-reviewed. The sample is small (16 children with difficulties and 12 without), it covers Swedish-speaking children, and the revision patterns come from one study.
Facts taken from this source
- Kraft notes that speech to text does not make spelling mistakes as such, but it may mishear words and so make semantic errors.
“even though an STT tool does not make any spelling mistakes as such, it may “mishear” words and thus make semantic errors” (Introduction)
