How do I choose the right assistive technology for my needs?

Choosing the right assistive technology depends on your specific needs, preferences, and the tasks you want to accomplish. Can you tell me more about your situation?

I have difficulty typing due to a hand injury. What options do I have?

For typing difficulties, you might consider speech-to-text software, adaptive keyboards, or even eye-tracking technology. Would you like more details on any of these?

Yes, can you explain how speech-to-text software works?

Speech-to-text software converts spoken words into text using voice recognition technology. It can be very helpful for those who struggle with typing. You simply speak into a microphone, and the software transcribes your words in real-time.

That sounds useful! Are there any specific programs you recommend?

Some popular options include Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Google Docs Voice Typing, and Microsoft Dictate. Each has its own features, so it might be worth trying a few to see which one you prefer.
