Speech to Text in Mote for iOS lets a student dictate rather than type. Spoken words become written text a student can keep working with, so getting started does not depend on typing.
Why it matters:
Removes the motor and spelling load that stops many students before they begin
Helps students get past writer's block by letting them talk their way in
Keeps the focus on what a student wants to say rather than how fast they can type it
MTSS:
Tier 1: Another route into writing for any student
Tier 2/3: A core accommodation for students with dysgraphia or motor challenges
UDL Principles:
Multiple means of action and expression: speaking as a route into written work
