Designed by a team of Parisian researchers, the ADELE-TEAM software<\/strong> (Aide Directe \u00e0 l’\u00c9criture et la Lecture Express – Direct Reading and Writing Assistance) is completely free<\/strong>. If its design looks like an old version of Windows, don’t be fooled, it is remarkably effective<\/strong>! It offers reading and writing assistance that can support the schooling of secondary school, high school and university students with DYS<\/strong>, as well as the daily working life of adults with DYS<\/strong>. Here’s an overview.<\/p>\n

The ADELE-TEAM software for people with DYS<\/h2>\n

As part of research funded by AGEFIPH, the THIM team at the CHArt laboratory of Paris 8 University designed a piece of software for people with DYS in the workplace. Named “ADELE-TEAM,” it favours listening-based reading<\/strong> when going through a long document, and makes it easier to extract useful information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Developed in partnership with the French Federation of DYS Associations, this software is aimed in particular at adults and teenagers<\/strong>, as well as people who are dyslexic, have dysorthographia, or are dyspraxic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How the software works: efficient and simple<\/h2>\n

When ADELE-TEAM opens, the screen is always split into two separate windows<\/strong>: “reading” on the right, and “writing” on the left:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • “Reading”<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The software allows you to open documents in PDF, Word, PowerPoint and LibreOffice<\/strong> formats. The font is automatically changed to “AccessibiliteDfA<\/strong>,” but it can be changed, enlarged, spaced out\u2026 The content can be listened to<\/strong> (with visual tracking), and it can also be searched by voice, highlighted on the fly<\/strong> on important sections, or the highlighted sections can even be extracted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • “Writing”<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The ADELE-TEAM software lets you write text using your voice<\/strong> (voice dictation), which is immediately corrected by a spell checker<\/strong> (you can expand the dictionary to better personalise it to your needs). The content produced this way can be exported<\/strong> in different formats<\/strong>. Note that it’s possible to turn it into an audio file (.wav).<\/p>\n

      ADELE-TEAM, available for free<\/h2>\n

      The ADELE-TEAM software is available for free download<\/strong>, for any teenager or adult with DYS who wants it. Indeed, this tool can effectively support children’s schooling, in secondary school, high school and in higher education alike<\/strong>. Ideally, even though it already has a first level of correction built in, it’s recommended to use it alongside software such as Antidote or Cordial<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      At the time of writing, the downloadable version is 3.8.0<\/strong>, but a version 4<\/strong> is already in development. ADELE-TEAM can be installed on a Windows or MacOS<\/strong> operating system.<\/p>\n

      The licence lasts two years from installation<\/strong>. At the end of this period, the software will offer to download a more recent version, which will automatically replace the current one. This update is also completely free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
