I am looking into voice recognition software and I am hearing about two different programs Dragon Speaking and SpeakQ, which is better? What version of Dragon Speaking is best for a 9 year old and a 12 year old?

In addition to age, there are many factors to consider when selecting voice recognition software. Several systems are actually available in addition to the ones you mentioned. I recommend that you research the features of each system so you can make an informed decision as to which may be the best match for your specific 9 and 12 year old. You will want to consider training, recognition, and system compatibility issues to name a few. You can learn about another young student being assessed for a voice recognition system in a case study at Assistive Technology Assessment: More Than the Device.
