Hey there!  Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or other special needs!
 
If you're a frequent visitor to our blog, you probably know that we're constantly researching and writing about helpful apps for individuals with special needs.  Today I'll highlight one specifically developed for those with dyslexia.  According to the developer's website, Inku is "An intuitive and powerful dyslexia tool that helps you write your notes without spelling errors."
 
Some key features of Inku include:
  • Speech-to-text that recognizes the word you'd like to write
  • Specific dictionary themes such as chemistry, history, engineering, sociology and more!
  • Bluetooth keyboard compatibility
  • Speech recognition
  • Phrase prediction 
  • and more!
Check out iTunes to learn more about this app!
