Dragon Dictation

Get it here.
Cost: Free



UDL Guideline 4.1 - Vary the methods for response and navigation
Not all students are physically comfortable or capable of typing on a keyboard. This can create a significant barrier to the true aim of a curriculum objective.  Dragon Dictation can be used to bypass this unnecessary hurdle by allowing students to dictate their thoughts directly into text.

General Critique
The tools are simple (tap the screen to start recording, tap again to stop), intuitive, and in a fixed location.  Though the main tools are not labeled, the sub-menus within these tools are.
