Hello,

I have recently begun working with a deaf student who has a repetitive
stress injury which precludes her use of a keyboard, in a postsecondary
institution, in the use of Dragon NaturallySpeaking.  She has been deaf from
birth but has very good and understandable (by human ears) speech.  We have
gone through two trainings in which Dragon did have trouble understanding
some of her speech, even to get through the training sessions.  I think that
her speech is good enough that Dragon should be able to understand what
she's saying if it is trained enough.  I was wondering if anyone has had any
similar experiences and possibly some suggestions.  I don't want her to get
too frustrated in the efforts to train Dragon.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Penny Gray
