    Hi

    I am a speech and language therapist working on a research project to =
    investigate how successfully people who have speech and language =
    problems (aphasia) after a stroke or head injury can use voice =
    recognition technology. I know that students with speech problems, =
    (e.g. dysarthria) have had success with the technology. People who have =
    had stroke/head injury may have language problems as well as speech =
    problems - yet another challenge for the software! =20

    If you have any knowledge or experience of using the software after =
    stroke or head injury or, more broadly, using it despite language as =
    well as speech problems, it'd be great to hear from you, whether or not =
    it was successful.

    Thanks!
