“…The research supports this, indicating that users spend a tremendous amount of time editing their work when using speech recognition software (Feng et al, 2005;Karat et al, 2000;Koester, 2004;Kotler & Tam, 2002). Honeycutt (2003) also discussed the importance of planning, stating that writers who have time to plan prior to writing produce more organized documents. Others (De La Paz & Graham, 1997;Higgins & Raskind, 1995;Wetzel, 1996) have found that planning prior to writing can improve the quality of work produced using speech recognition software.…”

“…Spell check and grammar check were turned off during writing sessions. This is because when writing a draft, it is important for students to write for content and then go back later for revisions (Honeycutt, 2003). Additionally, the auto correct and auto complete features were turned off.…”

“…Organizational processes that can help working memory include chunking, or placing like information together (Atkinson & Shiffrin, 1968). Planning prior to writing may help individuals chunk and organize their information better (Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1987;Honeycutt, 2003;.…”

“…Although speech recognition software has been considered beneficial to improve students' writing, it has been suggested that speech recognition technology should only be used for first drafts (Honeycutt, 2003). Honeycutt indicated that the first draft is the easiest, in terms of the writing process.…”

“…Planning is an important step because it can potentially eliminate pauses and ensure that there will be a continuous flow so the students will not have to stop to think about what they will be writing. Most students concentrate on getting their thoughts down on paper when writing a draft and then go back later to make changes (Honeycutt, 2003). Aligning with this method of draft writing, students were told to write and correct later.…”

Students with physical disabilities often have difficulty with writing fluency, despite the use of various strategies, adaptations, and assistive technology (AT). One possible intervention is the use of speech recognition software, although there is little research on its impact on students with physical disabilities. This study used an alternating treatments design to compare the use of speech recognition software to word processing on first draft writing with students with physical disabilities. Areas examined were fluency, accuracy, type of word errors, recall of intended meaning, and length. The results of this study indicated that fluency and length were greater for all participants with speech recognition compared to word processing, but accuracy was lower using speech recognition.
