I am hearing more and more teachers interested in speech to text applications for struggling writers. Speech to text applications allow a user to speak into a microphone, and have the application convert your speech into text on the computer. Two of the more popular programs available are SpeakQ and Dragon Naturally Speaking (also available as a free iOS app).
Anyone who has used a speech to text program knows there is a fairly steep learning curve, at least initially, to get the program to be functional. If you are currently using or interested in using Dragon Naturally Speaking, I have created a Quick Sheet that will help you with many of the basics of the program, as well as helpful hints to speed up the program by disabling parts of the program you don't need.
I hope this helps! I would love to hear feedback in the comments section on how to improve this quick sheet.
