Research shows that compensatory aids in the form of assistive technologies for individuals with reading and writing difficulties are particularly important in learning contexts. This study examined similarities and differences in students’ text quality and text length when typing with keyboard compared to when using a particular type of assistive technology in the form of a speech-to-text program. The study comprised of 41 Swedish middle school pupils. The results showed that using speech recognition software, whereby students are allowed to produce text by speaking instead of typing, generates both longer texts and higher-quality texts. Speech-to-text programs were also significantly more time efficient. Based on these results, speech recognition technology can bring educational benefits. The results are discussed based on previous research and methodological limitations. More research is needed, among other things, in order to understand how long-term use of assistant technology can affect students’ writing ability. assistive technology speech-to-text speech recognition programme dictation transcription reading and writing difficulties word decoding reading index LäSt writing text quality text length assisterande teknik tal-till-text taligenkänningsprogram diktering läs- och skrivsvårigheter dyslexi ordavkodning läsindex LäSt skrivande textkvalitet textlängd Psychology Psykologi Pedagogy Pedagogik Applied Psychology Tillämpad psykologi
