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.
Episode 51 – Unleashing The Dyslexic Advantage with Dr. Brock Eide
In this episode of The Dyslexia Life Hacks Show, Dr. Brock Eide discusses the unique strengths associated with dyslexia and how they can lead to amazing success. As a neuro-learning expert and co-author of The Dyslexic Advantage, Dr. Eide has spent years researching dyslexia and the positive attributes that come with it.
Dr. Eide’s interest in dyslexia began when he noticed his children struggling with reading and writing. This sparked his curiosity, and he began to research dyslexia and the unique brain structures associated with it. What he found was surprising – people with dyslexia have a predisposition to important skills and special talents.
Dr. Eide’s book, The Dyslexic Advantage, has been instrumental in shifting the paradigm of dyslexia from a deficit to a strength-based approach. The updated edition of the book includes new research that further supports the dyslexic advantage, providing a fuller and more balanced model of dyslexia.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Eide shares his insights on dyslexia, including how it is viewed today compared to 12 years ago when the first edition of the book was published. He also offers prescriptive advice for parents, educators, co-workers, and dyslexics on how to leverage the strengths associated with dyslexia.
