    What computer program translates spoken word, to text? My child is excellent when dictating thoughts and ideas, but, can't express these thoughts using pencil and paper. Typing using the regular keyboard is very difficult.

  • Screen Reader

  • Speech Recognition
    Is there a computer program that allows for hands-free control of the computer?

  • Touch Screen
    Is there a computer monitor with "built-in" sensors that provide activating computer programs with a finger-tip, rather than using a regular mouse?

  • Switch Activated EADL

In the Spotlight


Dr Oz started a stampede with his proclamation of African Mango as a daily must for dieters. A recent study shows significant weight loss benefits for those taking this supplement. It is primarily used to help control appetite, which naturally leads to less calories consumed. In early 2011 he dramatically proclaimed that Raspberry ultra drops are even more important fat burners for losing weight, calling it a miracle in a bottle. Then in 2012 he showed that Green coffee extract really helps burn the fat on his show It is also a fat burner as well as stimulant. It is also a strong antioxident and has many other health benefits. Most recently, Dr Oz brought out 5htp as yet another appetite suppressant. It is a natural substance produced by the body and is broken down to serotonin which is a neuro-transmitter that signals the brain when you are satisfied and should stop eating. All these natural products are sometimes referred to as the Dr Oz diet For more info on healthy and natural diet products at abilityhub.com
