Students with special educational needs will often access assistive technologies to support their learning. These technologies may include text-to-speech, screen magnifiers, word prediction, voice-to-text, etc.

The article also provides a short description of some of the most popular assistive technologies such as Dragon Naturally Speaking, Kurzweil, and WordQ.
