What's too young?

     Hello all,
     
     I was so excited to see six registrants to this listserv this morning
     and am eager to get the discussion rolling here. In an email to us,
     David Marshall raised the issue of the developmental appropriateness
     of speech recognition for elementary students. He reports that the
     training can be difficult for these students, and we have found that
     as well--although not impossible for SOME late elementary students.
     From all reports continuous speech products like Naturally Speaking
     are very difficult, not only because they are more challenging to use,
     but because the voice models (even female) don't work well for younger
     users. I'm curious if anyone else has experience with these issues?
