Can the TypeWell system help other students in addition to those who have hearing difficulties?
The TypeWell Transcription system can potentially help any person who has difficulty achieving full access to communication and notes. Students who have learning difficulties can often benefit from the in class display because the information on the computer screen stays in view for a minute or more, allowing time for reading and processing information that otherwise might go by too quickly. Students with learning problems often have difficulty taking their own notes. The educational notes produced by a TypeWell transcriber could be a learning boon for such students. Students with visual impairments can view the information on the computer screen in a large font. The notes can also be put through a Braille writer or text reader to make them accessible to such students. Students with severe physical impairments cannot take their own notes. Many of these students could use and learn from the notes produced by a TypeWell transcriber.
