Didgee, J1968 and Paulycoll Sorry you all struggle too

I know we spoke about this a little bit in another thread, but could you describe what technologies you have that help? I'm interested if there is anything that could help me organise my thoughts for planning and writing essays. I have mind map software, but that isn't helping as much anymore.

I also record my lectures and record my revision notes and listen to them on my iPod, because I find it easier to remember auditory information.

I had speech-to-text software but didn't get on with that at all.

I also have text-to-speech software which I find massively helpful for proofreading my written work and reading aloud text. Though I usually just quickly scan journal articles to find the info I need, and so don't use the text-to-speech software because it reads the entire thing and I just want certain sections or even certain sentences, but maybe I need to go back to using the text-to-speech software properly cos I may understand things better. Several times I think a sentence backs up what I want to say only to realise later that it doesn't or vice versa (my reading problem with positives and negatives again).

I'm still trying to find ways around these problems; making it up as I go along!
