HOW DOES THIS HELP? Faster Natural to speak Inclusive Interactive learning
12
THE REVERSE IS ALSO TRUE Text to speech

COMPUTING POWER Moore's law
This has allowed for smaller portable devices to contain high processing power on the go.
The Laptop has allowed users to be more productive and hence this assists user to achieve more.
14
WHERE CAN I FIND AT.. Most modern Operating systems have it built
in.
Windows vista has speech recognition built into it http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/windo

FUN WITH ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
RealD’s 3D Glasses fit this description, since they are a simple device that when a 3D image is projected the lenses in the glasses are polarised and this allows for different parts of the image to be displayed and hence the image can seem like it has become 3D
16
IS ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY USEFUL•Yes
•Used in a wide range of places with out even known
•No longer the secret of the digital age
