Ok, so when I took the assesment test for voc rehab online they have you watch a video at the start, The thing that I found so wrong about this is that I'm going in because I'm hearing impaired and the video has no closed captioning at all. I emailed the person who sent me the link for the test and told her about this. She apologized and said she was going to contact the company who puts the tests out. She couldn't understand why they wouldn't have this as well.
The test is a pain in the butt because they have you do several timed tests which take about 2 hours in my case. Once you start you can't go back. Ugh.

LOL YOU NEED A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE SPOKEN WORD. THEY DO HAVE THEM. YOU CAN TALK AND IT WILL RECORD EVERYTHING YOU SAY JUST LIKE A SECRETARY.

don't they have one of those??? I think ppl who are handicapped and can't type have one. not sure. I am thinking it is called something like a dragon????? I am thinking ,,, cant remember

NOT SURE WHAT IT IS CALLED BUT YES THEY DO HAVE THEM. MY SON IN LAW HAD ONE FOR A WHILE BUT THE MAN MUMBLES TOO MUCH SO THE COMPUTER WAS ALWAYS GETTING IT WRONG. YOU HAVE TO SPEAK CLEARLY. THEY ALSO HAVE PROGRAMS WHERE YOU CAN TYPE WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY AND THE COMPUTER WILL SPEAK IT FOR YOU. THAT IS FOR PEOPLE LIKE MY ONE BROTHER IN LAW WHO BECAUSE OF A BIRTH DEFECT CAN'T SPEAK. HE CAN'T TYPE VERY FAST BUT HE CAN TALK TO YOU WITH HIS MACHINE AND IT HAS OPENED UP A WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR HIM. ITS GREAT.

Sorry, have no idea what they call it. could ask my son in law but he is not speaking to me right now. Long story there so I won't bother anyone with it.
