Subject: Prompting software
[Moderator's note. Hi Allison. I've never heard of such a thing--it would
have to be pretty smart, I think. The closest thing I can think of is the
use of TTS readback to prompt the student with what's BEEN written thus
far, possibly providing enough cuing to proceed. Anybody else? Bob]
I am interested in finding out if there is any type of software available
for
students with mild disabilities that is able to generate writing prompts
based
on what a student has written. I am familiar with programs like Co:Writer
4000
etc. but haven't been able to find anything that actually is able to do
this.
Thanks,
Alison
