Carolyn go and me (aka Gerlingo and Me)

Gerlingo

after the west block (After the last blog)

… using Siri I was recommended another free speech to text

Your lingo (Gerlingo) is an app that are (a) Twitter user recommended (+ me) to try

If anybody would like me to try other free apps that are dyslexia friendly then please get in touch and I will try them out from my iPad.

This experiment has been a little bit of a disaster.

(I am sorry that I didn’t do as full an entry with Gerlingo as I had with Siri. It kept stopping after a few words, as you can see above. I was finding myself getting even more frustrated than I had when I was using Siri to write for me and I really wasn’t prepared to throw my iPad out the window because of an app.

Please also check out ‘An Example of Android Speech to Text’ by Alternative Wiring which is in a similar vein. Hopefully we can help you to find the best free apps that are dyslexia friendly!)
