Abstract

Speech recognition technology has been used extensively to enhance the performance of persons without disabilities. In general, speech input has proven helpful whenever optimal task performance requires the intensive coordination of the user's hands and eyes. For many people with disabilities, alternate access to computers through speech recognition technology holds the promise of lessening their dependence on others and promoting the development of their adaptive abilities. In this article, the importance of alternate access for persons with disabilities and the ways in which speech recognition technology has been used to accomplish this goal are discussed. Illustrative studies of the use of speech recognition by persons with disabilities are reviewed, and implications for the effective application of this technology are described.
