Over the years I have recommended individual programs to match individual dyslexia needs. Most people has different degree of dyslexia so it's important to find out which software is going to give you the best results, on helping you to overcome your dyslexia
Some questions to ask?
Will my computer able to run the software efficiently?. If your computer is on the borderline of the recommended specification.I would recommend upgrading your computer.
Ask the person who is recommending you the software. Have you used the software yourself and have you trained anybody who has dyslexia with this software. Are there training videos on how to get the most out of the software?
Speech recognition software requires more computer power than other software tools.
Always ask the question will my computer run the software?
Another important tool to look into is your microphone-headset is it up to the task. . Some headsets have noise cancellation to block out the surrounding noise to the small speakers, so you get a perfect audio Play back from your device which is great if you are Only listening to audio files or music. When it comes to speaking into your microphone you needed to have noise cancellation on it . So make sure you are ordering a headset which has microphone noise cancellation on it
