Assistive Technology

Believe it or not, one of the most common questions I am asked is in regards to Ginger’s Text To Speech feature. For those that are new to interacting with individuals who have learning difficulties, they are often not aware how beneficial Text To Speech can be for this group. To clarify, Text  To Speech, often written as TTS, is a technology that converts written words into speech. Using computer speakers, TTS allows the writer to hear the text they have written. At times, there is debate as to which Text To Speech technology is the best. Ginger Software’s TTS is powered by Acapela - the leading Text To Speech provider in our opinion, which is also favored by the LD community.

On the surface, some may think that Text To Speech only provides the ability to hear the text that is written. While that is one benefit, there are actually many more benefits which stem from TTS. Using Ginger Software, a student who may have dyslexia is able to write a sentence and then listen to their writing. This enables them to decide if what they have composed is correct. If they are not sure, they are able to choose a word from the list of alternative choices (shown below), which are also supported by TTS, to swap into their sentence. The user can now listen to the same sentence with the alternative word used to really decide which word would be the best fit for their sentence.

 

 

 

 

 

Not only does Ginger’s Text To Speech offer the ability to enhance sentence correction, but for writers who struggle with pronunciation, they are also able to hear proper word pronunciation. This is very helpful for building better speech and literacy skills. While using Ginger’s TTS, users will watch as each word being read is highlighted, enabling the user to visually identify and match sounds to words. Through auditory repetition users with LD are able to hear the each word they struggle with, in the end improving their speech.

Ginger provides its users with the ability to hear the initial sentence they have written- which will be read phonetically, as well as the sentence with all of the suggested corrections. This enables users to really identify the errors they have made and improve their writing. A Ginger user needs to simply click on the corresponding speaker icon shown below to hear either their initial sentence or the corrected sentence.

Additionally, Ginger provides a number of Text To Speech options. Users are able to increase or decrease the reading speed allowing them to find a comfortable pace to work with. Finally, Ginger also offers a variety of voice options such as male and female, adult and child, and US or UK accent providing users with the customized experience necessary in these modern times.

In December we announced how Ginger Software Now Can Provide You with Statistics & Reports in a dedicated blog post about this handy new feature. Now, we would like to give you a few pointers on how to utilize Ginger’s reports to your advantage!

To begin understanding the power of Ginger’s reports, one first must understand that Ginger allows you to sort a report by time frame. Meaning, as a parent or educator you are able to look at a child or group’s report for yesterday, last week, last month or the last three months. This is ideal for tracking a student or child's progress who may be on a RTI (Response To Intervention) or an IEP (Individualized Education Program). Simply clicking the ‘Save’ button shown below enables Ginger users to export the report they are viewing into MS-Excel for future reference. Being able to track a student week by week allows you to witness improvement and progress in their writing over time.

 

Another very simple way to use Ginger’s Frequent Error Reports is to track the correct word column. Commonly, while working with an individual who has dyslexia, they often have a very expansive verbal vocabulary. Though, when you track their written vocabulary, they may play it safe and choose words that are easier to spell. Knowing that if they choose a simple word, they can get relatively close to the correct spelling and then Microsoft’s Spell Checker may pick up the error and correct it for them. By simply tracking the correct word column, you are able to tell if the user is beginning to use more complex vocabulary.

Due to the fact that Ginger corrects on sentence context, users are able to attempt larger, more complex words that they would have avoided while solely using Microsoft’s tools.

Another wonderful advantage to using Ginger’s Frequent Errors reports is to export and save each student’s weekly report in MS-Excel. Once in Excel, you are able to use any of the program’s features to learn more about each Ginger user’s writing. For instance, once in Excel you can simply sort the corrected word column and watch for commonalities. Recently, I had a conversation with one teacher who said that she would sort the correct word column and look for patterns. With one particular student using Ginger, she found that each time a word beginning with the ‘ph’ sound such as ‘physical’ or ‘physics’ was used, the child would spell it with an ‘F’. This is a great example of an error that a traditional correction tool will not pick up, but one that Ginger will find. After seeing this, the teacher knew that she needed to spend additional time on this particular word sound.

Finally, one last simple feature that can be used is Excel’s charting capabilities. Below, you see my personal chart for how many Grammar & Misused Word errors I have made versus Spelling Mistakes in a given week. This is ideal to visually represent to a child how many mistakes they are making and how they are improving week by week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the challenges of working in the field of assistive technology is figuring out how various tools can work together to support students with writing disabilities. Written language is an extremely complex and demanding task that assumes that the student has a good foundation in organization, grammar, mechanics, idea,  and punctuation. If you are a good writer you take for granted all of  the sub-skills that are needed in order to get your ideas down  in a coherent fashion. For students that struggle with written language writing an essay or book report can be a frustrating and daunting experience. For many students whom I have worked with, written language is their weakest skill and one of their least liked school activities. So then how can we provide these students with some scaffolding and supports to help them to be more successful when doing their school writing projects? As an assistive technology consultant I am often asked by teachers and schools to help them match the students learning profile, the tasks, and recommend some tools that can support the student in the area of written language. Many students with written language disabilities often have difficulty starting their writing assignments and often need some software applications to help structure the task and help them move through the process.

In my professional experience software tools like Inspiration are wonderful for students who need the opportunity to brainstorm and need a more structured approach to their writing assignment. Inspiration is an ideal tool for brainstorming and freeing up the students to get their ideas down without the need to be concerned about the order or structure of their ideas. Using the RapidFire feature within Inspiration is a great way to engage students in the process of creatively getting their ideas down on the screen before setting off to write. The latest version of Inspiration now supports mind mapping and allows students to create visually appealing mind maps with the flexibility of allowing students to move their ideas around freely in the mind map. Giving students this freedom allows them to work with their ideas and organize them into a more coherent piece.

For students who may need more structure and support Inspiration can provide that as well. Many teachers that I have worked with using Inspiration, have developed their own writing templates which can provide students with the necessary prompts to help engage them in the writing process. In the screenshot provided you can see how one teacher provided a structure for a basic paragraph. Teachers can create frameworks for their students depending on the type of writing assignment that can go a long way in helping students to break down the task as they move through the writing process. Teachers also have access to a rich array of built-in templates that they can draw from and are easily accessible from within Inspiration. For students that need text to speech support that is available within Inspiration and can be easily accessed by students. Once students access the prompts that has been created by their teachers they are ready to get their ideas down. Inspiration is a very flexible tool and students can add their ideas into the mind map or into a more traditional outline. Whichever method they choose, they will be glad to know that their work will be saved and can be transferred to Microsoft Word. Students also have the option to add Sticky Notes and Audio notes to their graphic organizer which are just two other ways for them to get their ideas down before they begin to do more traditional writing. It is important when using Inspiration in the writing process to help the students understand that while it may seem to them like one more step that in the long run when they use this strategy that they will become more proficient and productive writers.

For students who have moved through this process and transferred their written work from Inspiration to Microsoft Word they will immediately see the benefits. Some of the students will have the “Aha” moment when they see how quickly they were able to put a draft together. Working within Microsoft Word  the students now have access to a suite of tools and features that will let them flesh out their written work.

For students that need more spelling and grammar support- they can look to Ginger to provide it. Ginger is an easy to use spelling and grammar correction tool that is unique in that it looks at words that are misspelled in the context of the sentence. So unlike typical spelling correction tools that just check for common spelling errors, Ginger helps to support students by looking at the word in the context of the sentence.

With Ginger’s powerful algorithms and text to speech support students can feel confident that what they hand in is correct. With so many wonderful tools out there for students to access to support their written work it is great to know that Inspiration, Microsoft Word, and Ginger can work so fluidly with one another to support the writing process for student with writing disabilities.

Most would expect to witness the height of European fashion while traveling to London. Though, on Ginger Software’s recent trip to the UK, not only did they launch the next big accessory, but they had an overwhelming debut at the 2010 British Education and Training Technology Exhibition in London.

2010 was Ginger’s first year at the BETT exhibition, and while we did not actually launch a fashion line, Ginger did have one of the hottest giveaways at the show. The ‘I Love Ginger’ tote bag went form a novel idea to the must-have item of the show.

Giveaways aside, the Ginger booth, located in the special needs section of the exhibition, was busy from the start of the day until the end. Unlike some of the other shows that Ginger has participated in, BETT resides on the international level and was a wonderful opportunity to really spread the word about Ginger. The show attracted educators, assistive technology professionals, parents and many more! For the first time in Ginger’s history we also provided our FREE 14-day trial to visitors to our booth, in the form of a disc.

To see more pictures from BETT, go to the Ginger Software Facebook Page.
After returning from London, Ginger took a short hiatus before departing for the 2010 ATIA Show (Assistive Technology Industry Association) in Orlando; a welcomed trip out of the cold Boston, MA weather where Ginger’s headquarters are located. Like BETT, ATIA was another great show for Ginger to participate in, drawing crowds from around the United States. This year, Ginger was lucky to have Brian Friedlander, fellow Ginger Blog writer on hand to assist in their booth.

Not only did Brian assist at the booth, he also made a presentation during one of the breakout sessions about the up-and-coming Assistive Technologies on the market, Ginger included of course!

Where is Ginger’s next appearance? At the 2010 TCEA Show in Austin, Texas from February 8-12, 2010. Remember to stop by the Ginger booth if you are attending. We will be in booth 1652.

Remember to follow Ginger on Twitter, we always tweet live from the conferences!

A lot has changed since I entered the field of assistive technology, owing to the fast pace of technological innovation. Years ago if you wanted to make text accessible to students with reading disabilities it was a rather arduous task of physically scanning the book using a flatbed scanner. Today there are many ways for students to access books without the need to scan a single page. The choices that you make will often depend on the availability of the book and the service that you are a member of. To begin the process you will have to decide whether you want to have your audio book to be read by a human reader or read using synthesized text to speech. Next you will have to weigh how important it is for you to be able to access the audible book on a portable device like an MP3 player or on a your personal computer. Once you have made some of these decisions you can begin to sort out the various services to access your novels and textbooks.

Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, which happens to be located in Princeton, NJ has one of the largest holdings of chapter books as well as textbooks which are all recorded by human readers in their recording studios. Each book is recorded and supplied to students on a CD in their AudioPlus format which can be played on a specialized CD player which is available from RFB&D or can be played on a personal computer with the appropriate software application. When playing the audible book on the computer or specialized CD player, students can quickly navigate to a page in the book and can change the pitch and rate of the reading speed. Students with reading disabilities can follow along in their book as the book is being read- which is highly suggested. RFB&D recently instituted AudioAccess, which allows RFB&D members to download audio textbooks and literature directly to a Windows^®-compatible computer. AudioAccess books are easy to use and can also be played on a Windows based MP3 player making this a truly portable alternative.

Effective August 2006, legislation was passed by Congress that would require textbook publishers to provide their current textbooks with a copyright of 2006 or greater in a standardized National Instructional Materials Accessibility  Format (NIMAS). The NIMAS format which was jointly developed by a consortium of textbook publishers and the Center for Applied Special Technology would allow students to have a range of accessible audio textbooks. Last year, Bookshare was awarded a large grant from the US Department of Education to provide accessible books utilizing text to speech technology. Bookshare has a large selection of the NIMAS formatted textbooks available and ships free reader software with each subscription. Bookshare is now a free service to schools and gives students with I.E.P.’s and who have a “print disability” as defined on the Bookshare web site with access to their books and free reading software. School districts can sign up for institutional accounts and certify that the students who are included on the roster have a “print disability.” Once  the account is processed students can gain access to downloading their chapter books and textbooks from the Bookshare website. Students can have access to VictorReader Soft or Read:Outloud Bookshare Edition to access the NIMAS formatted books. Students using the Bookshare service need to be comfortable listening to text to speech. There are many different speech engines available  and students should preview them to determine which one is the most understandable for them.

Amazon has certainly received a great deal of media interest in their latest reader called the Kindle 2 which was recently released. At just 10 ounces and a 6 inch diagonal screen the Kindle 2 can store over 1,500 books which are available from the vast Amazon.com library. With the new text-to-speech feature, Kindle can read every newspaper, magazine, blog, and book out loud to you, unless the book is disabled by the rights holder. The text-to-speech feature is very well integrated into the Kindle and the quality of the voice is quite good. The Kindle 2 really opens up access to those students with reading disabilities with an elegant and easy to use device. With an Amazon.com account, books are easily downloaded to the Kindle over the free 3G network for which there is no charge. The Kindle 2 gives students access to the latest bestsellers using high quality text to speech technology. Just last week Amazon announced the release of the Kindle DX which they are piloting with select colleges. The Kindle DX has a larger format and is intended to be used to access newspapers and textbooks. Amazon will be testing out how college students can use this technology to access their textbooks. With the cost of college textbooks and the merging of this technology- it is clear that someday soon, all students will access their textbooks utilizing Kindle based technology of one sort or another.

Finally, for some students who need to be truly engaged in the reading experience there is none better than having access to Audible.com. Audible.com gives students access to a wide range of novels, chapter books , and bestsellers which are all professionally narrated and can be played on an iPod. This is a very engaging medium and having the portability of your books on your iPod is very appealing. With an Audible.com account books are simply downloaded to your computer and transferred to your iTunes library for easy transfer to your iPod. This is certainly a viable alternative to making text more accessible.

Just a couple of weeks ago Intel announced the Intel Reader which is a small portable device (1.4 pounds) with a camera with built in optical character recognition (OCR) and text to speech support. It is hard to imagine all of the technology that is built into this device that can be used to quickly OCR a document and have it read almost instantaneously. At a price point of $1500 dollars the Intel Reader is moderately priced for such an assistive technology system. The Intel Reader can also be purchased with a Portable Capture Station making it relatively fast for the student to capture the pages. The Intel Reader has a 5 megapixel camera with a built-in flash that can quickly process the pages and begin to read even before the entire text is converted. From all reports the text to speech engine is pretty good and the user can make adjustments to the speed at which the text is read. By all accounts the Intel Reader is a technological marvel for students with reading disabilities that need to have access to a portable tool to convert the text.

As you see a lot has changed as advances in mainstream technology have taken a foothold in  making text more accessible for students with reading disabilities. Certainly there are pluses and minuses with each of the technologies and it is important to weigh them before committing to one solution or another. In certain instances you may need to rely on several of the aforementioned solutions as part of your assistive technology reading toolkit. If you have questions about these technologies please consult with your child’s Child Study Team who can help guide you through the decision making process.

It has been very exciting to watch as Ginger has evolved over the course of the past couple of months.  If you have not had a chance to look at Ginger, I urge you to download the latest version from the Ginger Software Website. One of the features which I am sure will garner a lot of interest from teachers who are working with students with writing disabilities is the ability to quickly generate a report of the types of grammar and spelling errors that a student makes.

With Ginger Premium it is now possible to quickly generate a report of the student’s spelling and grammar errors right from within the application. For the home user, a parent can simply click on statistics and reports within the Ginger menu as seen here. Ginger will automatically launch your browser and generate a report.

 

At the school level, teachers will go to Ginger Software website and click School & Reports Login as seen below. 

 

Teachers have the capability to sort their Ginger users into groups whether it’s by course, class period or even assistance level. Each teacher using Ginger has the opportunity to create their own groups to best utilize Ginger as they see fit, truly adding to Ginger’s versatility as a learning platform.

Ginger’s reports allow the parent or teacher to generate a report within a certain time frame, be it a week, month, or year, enabling them to track the students’ progress over time.

Likewise, teachers can drill down and look at the types of errors that students are making. In the report below you will see that Ginger classifies errors as; Grammar and Misused or Spelling. The report will tabulate the number of occurrences of the errors and will also show you what the student wrote and the correction.

Armed with this type of data, teachers can begin to see patterns in their students' work and indentify their specific needs and chart appropriate interventions. Educators will be delighted that they can collect this type of information and have it available to them as they plan a student's educational program. For more information or to trial Ginger go to www.gingersoftware.com.

It has really been exciting to see the development of Ginger over the past couple of weeks as new features have been added. If you are using Ginger you will be glad to know that version 1.8 which has just been released is packed with some really great features. The new version includes:

• Improved correction of spelling and misused words

• Grammar correction (more grammar corrections to come in January 2010)

• Increased response time.

• A text-to-speech feature that reads text aloud before and after Ginger's corrections

• Easier to install and use

• Works with Microsoft Word, Outlook and Internet Explorer (perfect for Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Facebook, Twitter etc.)
• A reporting tool for tracking user mistakes and progress

• Display settings that can be adjusted according to personal preferences

• "Add to dictionary" feature

 I have had a chance to work with the latest version of Ginger and am really amazed at its performance and the text to speech capabilities. Students will find the interface very simple and easy to use as the natural sounding text to speech support can go a long way to support students who may have difficulty reading the corrected sentence or suggested words. Ginger is an ideal tool for students with dyslexia since it provides the supports they need when proofing their written work. Being in the field of assistive technology, I am certainly aware of the power of these tools and what they can do to support students accessing the curriculum. But the other side of the formula is the importance that a tool link Ginger can bring to empower students to be independent and have the confidence to communicate in written form.

In the age of Facebook, Google Docs, and Twitter, students with writing disabilities are often cut off from the rest of their friends, if they cannot write effectively. Many students that I have worked with over the years are just too embarrassed to participate in these online forums because they can’t spell or write well. With Ginger, students can now have the confidence to be full participants

on the web as they share their ideas and communicate with their friends knowing that their written work will be letter perfect. Having the text to speech support for some students will go a long way to allow them to be independent and get their ideas down as they see fit. Working with the latest version of Ginger I marvel how versatile it is when using such services as Facebook, Google Docs, Twitter or commenting on a blog.

The latest version of Ginger really opens the doors for students with writing disabilities and provides them with a level of support that will give them the confidence to share their ideas with the friends and families over the web. If you have not tried Ginger please take the opportunity to download the 14 day trial and give it a test drive- you will be glad you did.

The halls at Ginger are a flutter with activity as we prepare to travel to sunny Orlando Florida, for The 60th Annual International Dyslexia Association Annual Conference. Held at the beautiful Swan & Dolphin Resort from November 11^th-14^th, this will be Ginger’s Second appearance at the IDA conference and we intend on making a splash! Excitement runs high with the Ginger staff as we are not only exhibiting at the conference but are sponsoring the Dyslexia Dash; a 5k Run- Walk that supports  one of the primary organizations in the world that helps individuals with dyslexia. If you would care to make a donation to the IDA Dyslexia Dash please do so here: Donate.

Should you be attending the conference make sure to stop by booth #307 for a Ginger Demonstration or to meet Miki Feldman-Simon, Ginger’s US VP of Operations or Joseph McCarthy, Ginger’s Sales & Marketing Manager to hear about what’s new and exciting with Ginger. 

We look forward to seeing you at the conference, and if you’re not attending remember to check the Ginger Blog for our conference wrap up.

For many students who present with writing disabilities it is not uncommon for them to also have difficulty in the area of reading. So while Ginger may be a great solution for some students who can read the suggested corrections, for others this can be a challenge. Ginger Software recognizes that some students may require Text-To-Speech (TTS) support so that they can approve the corrections independently. For these students that need text to speech support, Ginger Premium is available. With Ginger Premium students can independently listen to their sentence as well as the proofread

 

 

 

sentence and determine if the suggestions are correct. If Ginger Premium flags a word, students can listen to the alternatives in the list by simply hovering over the suggestion. Once the student places the cursor over the word, Ginger Premium will automatically read the word and the example. Students have the ability to change the voice and the speed in which the words are read.

 

 

 

 

 

Ginger Premium uses a very high quality Text-To-Speech engine which makes it easy for students to listen to. There is a choice between a female and male voice that students can select based on their personal preference.

 

 

 

 

Students who want to be able to proofread their work and need Text-to-Speech support will find Ginger Premium an ideal tool to allow them to correct their documents independently from within Microsoft Word, Outlook, and very soon – Internet Explorer. For more information about Ginger Premium go to www.gingersoftware.com

When I first came across Ginger sometime last spring, I was struck by quality of the spell checking and the innovation that I saw. While I was excited to learn about this new innovative assistive technology, it wasn’t until I actually used it with students diagnosed with dyslexia that I saw how valuable it was to them. Students who have been diagnosed with dyslexia typically present with a learning disorder that impacts in the areas of reading and well as in written language. While dyslexia impacts in a student’s ability to read, more often than not, it also impacts more in their ability to write. Typically students with dyslexia will have trouble organizing their ideas, spelling words correctly, and constructing clearly organized paragraphs. This is where Ginger can assist. Unlike other spell checking applications, Ginger is unique and uses algorithms and a database to seek out the context of how the word is being used. With these methodologies, Ginger is able with a very high degree of probability to correctly suggest the word that was intended by the writer. If you have worked with students with writing disabilities, you know just how challenging it is for them to get their ideas down on paper due to their spelling difficulties. In many cases, students with writing disabilities will choose to use smaller words that they know they can spell, then take the risk of spelling a word they want to use but just can’t figure out how to spell it. Even when these students use a standard spell checker, more often than not the word they want is not suggested because they are so far afield. Students with dyslexia typically spell very phonetically or will tend to drop out letters that they just don’t hear in the word. This is where Ginger comes in. Ginger allows the student the ability to get their ideas down without slowing them down and forcing them to check their spelling. The idea of fluency is important when writing and for all of us who do writing you know that the most important part of the process is getting your ideas down first before you edit. Using other writing assistive technologies has a tendency to break that flow, and force the student to focus at the word level, instead of allowing the student to get their ideas down.

Ginger allows students the freedom to know that they can get their ideas down first and when they are finished they can invoke Ginger to check their work. This really frees up the students to use words that they might not even want to attempt to try, because they know that Ginger is in the background ready to assist them when needed. Ginger has the uncanny ability to look at not only the misspelling but to look at the word in context to help make the appropriate suggestion. The ability to process the student’s written work after they are done writing one sentence at time really helps the student to focus on their intent and to see if their ideas flow. If needed, students can use Ginger’s text to speech (TTS) supports that comes with a Premium Membership to listen to the computer read their work and the suggested words. All in all, Ginger provides a level of support that will give students the confidence to get their ideas out with the words that they want to use. If you are working with students with dyslexia and spelling disorders, I urge you to take a test run of Ginger and download the 14 day trial and see what happens. While Ginger works great for student with dyslexia you should also consider it for students who are just starting to write and for English Language Learners whose native language is not English.  Like myself, you will be amazed just how good this software is in providing students with the spelling supports they need.  In recognition of National Dyslexia Awareness Month, Ginger Software is offering a 20 percent discount to home users until the end of November. You can go to the Ginger Software Store by clicking here

In my next post, I will take a look at the text to speech capabilities (TTS) in Ginger Premium to support students who may have difficulty reading the suggested corrections.

It is really exciting to be able to blog for Ginger Software as they launch their latest product Ginger, a new and innovative spelling correction tool. I was honored when Ginger Software asked me to join their Scientific Advisory Board to provide them with my perspective in the field of assistive technology. For the past twenty five years I have been involved in the field of special education as a school psychologist and now as a full-time professor of education at the College of St. Elizabeth where I head up the Graduate Programs in Special Education and teach graduate courses in assistive technology. The longer I am in the field the more excited I have become with the potential that assistive technology can hold for students with learning disabilities. In my way of looking at it- assistive technology can help level the playing field for students with disabilities and provide them with various levels of supports to give them access to the core curriculum. More importantly, assistive technology can provide the student with the self-confidence knowing that they can do school tasks like everyone else. Assistive technology can provide the student with the sense of  an " I can do" attitude which is essential in helping with students maintain their self-esteem and confidence. I am always so disheartened when I work with students for the first time who have struggled their entire academic career with reading and writing and have never been introduced to any assistive technology. To me, it is unacceptable that more educators are not made aware of the value of assistive technology and the role it can play in the student's education. In part, it is this reason that I spend all of my time teaching my graduate students whom are all teachers about the value and the role of assistive technology in a student's education.

 

In this blog I hope to explore with you various assistive technologies that can help a wide variety of learners reach their full potential. There have been a number of new developments in the field not only in software but hardware that makes assistive technology more accessible and more economical. Of course we will spend some time taking a look at Ginger Software which has broken new ground with their recent release of their product in helping dyslexic students in the area of writing. So I hope that you come back often and read the posts and become part of this exciting community of educators that are looking for new techniques and strategies to work with students with disabilities. Before I sign off on this post- please feel free to join me and my colleague Joan Green, MA, CCC for a free Webinar in which we talk about various writing supports that were featured in our most recent eBook, Technology Supports for Writing. In this webinar you will have the opportunity to see how assistive technology can help students in the writing process. Of course you will get to see first hand how Ginger Software is leading the way with their innovative software application to help support those students with grammar and spelling issues.
