Voice (or speech) recognition software (VRS) has been described by some as a panacea for many of the difficulties experienced by dyslexics studying in reading and writing in higher education. Such software allows the user to input data by merely speaking into a microphone, dispensing with the need for the keyboard almost altogether. Nonetheless, the actual viability of VRS as an enabling tool which benefits the dyslexic learner has yet to be established.
