Resumen

La demanda de una buena competencia escrita en una lengua extranjera es cada vez mayor en el ámbito laboral debido a la importancia del multilingüismo en nuestra sociedad actual. Por lo tanto, tampoco podemos obviar la necesidad de desarrollar la expresión escrita en el aula de lengua inglesa. El uso de las TIC ha adquirido cierto protagonismo en el desarrollo de las competencias en la lengua meta como factor motivador, y no menos en el desarrollo de la expresión escrita. En ese sentido, con este estudio pretendemos analizar los efectos que tienen las herramientas de reconocimiento de voz en lo que respecta a los niveles de motivación y a la mejora de la producción escrita. Este estudio se realizó en una universidad española con 55 estudiantes de primer curso de Traducción e Interpretación, quienes completaron una encuesta sobre la aplicabilidad de las herramientas de dictado disponibles en Microsoft Word® y Google Docs® en la redacción de textos escritos. Los resultados sugieren que, a pesar de sus limitaciones, los sistemas de reconocimiento de voz pueden ser de gran utilidad para el alumnado, al constituir una estrategia innovadora y motivadora que permite implicarlos en el proceso de escritura.
