Basically, it is a prgram that takes spoken words and types them for the speaker.<br /> <br /> That might be a way to help her with the writing of stories, since you mentioned that she is good at editing... you could have her speak her story and then she can edit it for clarity and content. That way, she doesn't have the stress of writing per se, but can express herself and learn how to edit/correct her writing to make it coherent to others.<br /> <br /> It might be worth a look, if you can "test drive" software like that.<br /> <br /> Cindy So I was thinking about your comment before about Miss LuLu’s writing skills, and was thinking that something you might try could be a program similar to “Dragon Naturally Speaking” (I think that’s the title).
