I am an assistive technologist and I would not suggest you go directly toward voice recognition software. VR is not always the answer and is typically not as functional most believe. When it comes to VR, there are many things you have to consider: One is breath support, ability to pronounce words, ability to organize your thoughts in your head then use the VR and correct the voice files. From my experience many people that try VR fail using it because it takes more time and energy then direct typing. But that does not mean that it won't work for you.
When looking for a writing tool it is important to go from direct access to alternative format. For example, you say you have CP. But you do not say what your ability is to type. I am going to assume that you typed this question to EduQnA.coms. If you have the ability to type then I would also assume that you can use a standard keyboard with success. If that is the case, then I would suggest that you look for tools that may help you with typing such as word predication software. "Word prediction aids individuals with limited keyboarding ability and can be used with standard application software. It is also useful to support spelling and grammar skills. As characters are typed, the word prediction software revises a “pick list.” When the desired word or phrase appears, it can be selected and will automatically update what is being typed." This type of software picks up the speed of writing.
Depending on your country, state and age you maybe able to get services through your college or division of vocational services if you are out of school.
Below is a link to a person that has CP. She talks about her accomplishments and frustrations.
take the class so you can learn the craft. when you write, record it verbally and have someone else type it out for you. use a ghost writer. you'll still be writing, you just wont be typing it. that might work.
I agree with the person below about getting voice recognition software your computer, it does work. All schools have to have disability offices, these places will set you up with other people in your class who can help you or who can take notes for you. You should contact them first to make sure that they will be able to assist you.
Everyone of the replies I have read are right on. All places of education that are public must be equipped for the handicap. Take a tape player an record the lectures, find someone who can write for you or the voice software. These are all wonderful ideas. So why did I reply to your question. I just want you to know you are not disabled. You are differently abled. Best of luck to you, when you publish your first book, may I have your autograph.
