Since there are many educators out there I thought I might ask though this
is not about clay...

While reading Carrie's post I was thinking about my son. I've written about
him before. He is what used to be called dyslexic. He's 13. He had to
revise a story and I was helping him. I could read his paper but I know
most wouldn't take the time to wade through his spelling. (ie hour he
spells ower) Are there any computer programs out there that interpret what
a person is trying to spell? Or, does anybody know of whom I might contact
about this sort of thing? Can voice recognition software be somehow
combined with a word processor?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

And I am currently using L and H should Voice Xpress standard version,
which is quite a user friendly apart from a tendency to throw in an
extra "and", "the", and "of" occasionally!
