My comments are about the assistive technology devices and software. Speech recognition A very common use of speech recognition technologies is by persons with learning disabilities. Should this use be added to the description of speech recognition? Speech synthesis Suggest changing the term "speech synthesis" to "digitized speech" or "text-to-speech." The term "speech synthesis" does not seem to be commonly used. There are very few stand-alone speech synthesis devices. Most speech is digitized now and is generated by software. Tabbing through structural elements Suggest removing "dyslexic" from this description because persons who are dyslexic usually don't use screen readers. They may use speech recognition (speech-to-text) and text-to-speech or speech synthesis technologies.
