Physical access to the iPad or iPod/iPhone is required for the recording, editing and production (email/copying/printing) process. I believe the Dragon Dictation provides a great writing support for students with learning disabilities and a quick means of creating speech to text with some physical editing required. Recent experiences with middle school students using Dragon Dictation and PaperPort on the iPad with Wi-Fi resulted in fairly good accuracy given the minimal to no training required (basic instructions for punctuation, new line, enunciation, microphone positioning and environmental controls – quiet area) and fluctuating quality of middle school male voices! Used with students who significantly struggle with literacy, Dragon Dictation can be a boon for production of written expression when support is provided by others with the editing process. I am a user of Dragon Dictation on my iPhone (no Siri unfortunately) with good success using the manual ability to correct the mistakes prior to copy/pasting or emailing the produced text.
