This statement is correct. There is no requirement to put any imput on take off roll. Having been a Dash 8 test pilot for deHavilland, I can assure you this is the method used during testing and certification by senior test pilot on Dash 8 (all models). You will of course require imput once rotation ocurrs so be ready for it.
