Study Protocol: Text Performers—Using Speech-to-Text Technology to Support Students With Dyslexia During Text Production

Abstract

This protocol article describes the background, theoretical framework, and methods for two intervention studies using assistive technology to produce text. The participants will be 15 10–12-year-old students with dyslexia from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The first study aims to examine how an intervention focusing on using speech-to-text technology influences texts written by students with dyslexia, and the second study aims to investigate the writing process when students with dyslexia use speech-to-text technology. Study 1 uses a multiple baseline design, whereas Study 2 uses verbal protocols.
