Are there any other alternatives to the use of an iPad for recording audios and dictations? The popular digital pen of the iPad, for instance, can also come in handy for recording interviews or meetings. The pen has a good writing implement which comes in handy for writing down important information during an interview or meeting. The use of the iPad as a transcription tool can assist the person who is dyslexic in reading the text correctly.

In the past, there was no other choice than the traditional transcription tools like the stenographic machines which were widely used by the transcription service providers in the past. The problem with these tools was that they were large and could not be used conveniently by the individuals who were dyslexic. It was impossible to use these old versions of transcription tools because they were labor intensive and quite difficult to operate. However, the present-day e-readers such as the iPad or the virtual keyboard of the iPad can be an ideal option to address the needs of the dyslexic individuals who need assistive technology to properly read hard copy text or document.
