Guides by role
Dictation for the way you work
Role-specific and accessibility guides for evaluating dictation workflows, privacy, correction effort, and limitations.
Accessibility
Decision guides for evaluating speech-to-text when typing is difficult, including trigger, correction, assistive-technology, and medical boundaries.
ADHD
Test dictation as one rough-draft option for ADHD, with correction effort and individual fit made explicit.
Dyslexia
Consider speech-to-text for rough drafts while keeping reading, spelling support, and transcript review in the loop.
RSI / wrist pain
Evaluate whether dictation replaces enough prose keystrokes after triggers, navigation, and corrections are counted.
Carpal tunnel
Consider dictation as one way to replace prose keystrokes, within your care plan and with the full input path tested.
Motor impairments
Compare speech-to-text with full voice control, including trigger access and unverified assistive-technology compatibility.
Broken wrist
Test a comfortable one-handed trigger for short prose tasks, following your clinician's activity guidance.
Hand surgery recovery
If your care team permits it, test speech-to-text for some prose entry without inferring a recovery timeline.
Tendonitis
Evaluate dictation for some repetitive prose input while accounting for the trigger, navigation, and corrections.
Arthritis
Test whether speech and review require less unwanted hand input for your tasks; no symptom outcome is promised.
Parkinson's
Test your own speech, microphone, trigger, and correction path before relying on speech-to-text for a task.
Essential tremor
Compare dictation with full voice control, including the motor demands of triggering and correcting the transcript.
Fibromyalgia
Consider dictation as an input option to test, without claims about pain, fatigue, concentration, or treatment.
Dysgraphia
Explore spoken drafting as one input accommodation while keeping organization, review, and educational support separate.
Blind & low vision
Evaluate dictation alongside a screen reader, with focus, shortcut, announcement, and error recovery still unverified.
One-handed typing
Compare dictation, alternative keyboards, and full voice control for the hand, trigger, and tasks you use.
