Metroplex Voice Computing, Inc. (MVC) continues to be the leader in speech recognition mathematics products for the physically/visually challenged.
How teacher and student use speech recognition mathematics for lesson preparation and doing math lessons with MathTalk/ScientificNotebook. From pre-algebra through graduate level, including graphs, Braille.
This presentation will demonstrate how a teacher and student’s use of speech recognition mathematics to accomplish a student doing mathematics homework by voice.
This presentation will show:
- How a teacher can prepare mathematics lessons for students.
- How a teacher can save prepared lesson file.
- How the student will access the lesson file.
- How the student will use the lesson file by either a) accessing and doing the math within that file and/or b) using the lesson file to recreate and do the homework lesson.
This presentation will show:
- The student can to do own work
- How speech recognition helps the user focus.
- How voicing mathematics teaches the user the language of math.
- How voicing mathematics teaches the user to formulate thoughts before speaking.
- How voicing mathematics helps the user make an effort to speak more clearly.
For many students the field of mathematics is not available. Speech recognition mathematics gives many of these persons the opportunity to do math on their own, thus providing more future options than before.
This presentation will use
- MathPad By Voice which allows the user to voice arithmetic. This program has a readback which can be an added advantage for certain disabilities. The speech engine is DragonDictate.
- MathTalk/ScientificNotebook which allows the user to voice any math from pre-algebra, algebra, calculus, statistics, and graphs through Ph.D. and professional levels. The speech engine is DragonDictate.
- MathTalk/ScientificNotebook w/NaturallySpeaking which allows the user to voice any math from pre-algebra, algebra, calculus, statistics, and graphs through Ph.D. and professional levels. The speech engine is NaturallySpeaking Professional.
The presentation will also show the versatility of creating math and having the option to translate the math into Braille using the new Duxbury Braille Translator.
