Advantages and Disadvantages of Voice-to-Text

Advantages of Voice-to-Text include increased efficiency, accessibility for learners with physical challenges, and the ability to capture thoughts quickly. Disadvantages may involve less active cognitive engagement, potential inaccuracies in transcription, and reduced reinforcement of spelling and typing skills.

A student with a hand injury uses voice-to-text to complete assignments, allowing them to continue learning without interruption. However, they may not engage with the content as actively as when typing, potentially impacting comprehension and retention.

Comparing these two methods highlights how different learning scenarios and individual needs can determine the most effective approach for supporting merit-based advancement.
