Dear AccessWorld Editor,

I have been eagerly awaiting Dictation Bridge since I heard about it two years ago.
I have a blind student who can really benefit from dictation along with feedback from JAWS. I'm glad you've pointed out missing steps in the documentation because I wasn't sure I was doing it right.
I'll take another crack at it!
Thanks again,
Nancy

Excellent summaries of the low vision/blind wearable technology.
Did anyone look at the 'AngelEye Smartglasses' by Next VPU?
I have both RP and retina degeneration so [don't have] central or peripheral. The Angel Eye smartglasses are the one product I have come across that provides a range of functionality that would assist me in understanding and navigating my environment.
I would appreciate any information that you may have on this product.
I understand AngelEye smartglasses are only available in Asia, but my understanding is that development is underway to bring them to the North American market.
Thanks in advance,
Mike Moore

I used Dragon Naturally Speaking version 11.5 in 2012 along with Window-Eyes 4.4, and I found I could complete the "voice training" exercise. I then used Dragon to input many, many pages of material. I was able to make spelling corrections and add to Dragon's word recognition lists successfully. Good luck with future versions of DictationBridge.
Regards,
Liz
