Hey Siri (other assistants are available)

iPhone using siri

Who knew your phone’s personal assistant does not just know how to order you pizza, but can also spell words out for you! Just trigger your phone’s particular assistant and ask it to “spell [word]” and it will spell the word you want, spoken letter by letter, out loud.
“Hey Siri, how do you spell haberdashery?”
Siri’s reply: “haberdashery h-a-b-e-r-d-a-s-h-e-r-y”
Also, you can use the phones voice recognition when texting to add the word in you just cannot spell.

In this episode, we explore how mind mapping assists individuals with dyslexia in organizing their ideas. Dyslexic individuals often have brilliant ideas but struggle to structure them coherently. Mind mapping helps visualize these thoughts, making it easier to organize them into text or presentations. Assistive technology has evolved from basic PC tools to advanced AI-driven solutions, offering limitless possibilities for mind mapping.

Host Matthew Head is joined by Chris Collier, Director of Assistive Technology at OpenGenius. Chris’s journey began as an English teacher in South Africa, where he encountered neurodiverse students and learned about Dyslexia. He became an expert in Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) and assistive technology, eventually leading him to his current role at OpenGenius. Chris shares insights on how AI-powered mind mapping, through tools like Ayoa, is revolutionizing education and workplace productivity for everyone.
