Peer reviewedBorgh, Karin; Dickson, W. Patrick – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1992
Synthesized speech was added to a word processor used by children in grades two and five. Each student wrote four stories on a microcomputer and received spoken feedback on two of them. It was found that students wrote longer stories, edited more, and enjoyed writing more with the spoken feedback. (24 references) (LAE)
