You recommend a comprehensive software package that includes speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and word prediction software. These packages are available for computers, tablets, and handheld devices. Katrina would be able to dictate her term papers and use the text-to-speech and word prediction functions to edit. If Katrina is a graduate student, she should already be familiar with the assistance available through the college's department for students with disabilities.
