Struggling with pronunciation?
Howjsay differs from regular online dictionaries in that results are in the form of an mp3 audio file. Simply type in a word, click submit and then hover the mouse cursor over it to hear the proper pronunciation as many times as you like.

AccessApps
The Scottish JISC RSCs in collaboration with TechDis have developed the AccessApps initiative. This consists of more than 50 open source and freeware applications which can be used from a USB stick without any installation on the computer being used.
Many of the applications are assistive technologies and which would be useful will depend on the particular learning support needs of the individual. The ability to store and run these applications from a USB device allows the individual access to the software to support them on any computer they use without the need to install or get around locked down networks.
Further information, a list of applications and a link to downloads is available from the JISC RSC website.
