Can a person with speaking difficulties or a strong accent use SpeechMaster?
Provided that the user speaks reasonably consistently and smoothly and has enrolled on DNS carefully, good results can be obtained. In the case of dysarthric speech it is harder to estimate the likely success at the outset. Slurred speech is easier to cater for than broken speech, where there is a pause within the word. A stutter can be coped with but this presents a significant problem. Where DNS fails to cater for speech problems, DragonDictate should be tried. In many cases those with quite severely dysarthric speech and bad stuttering can succeed in using ScreenSpeaker with DragonDictate.
