WordQ Description

WordQ software is a writing tool used along with standard word processing software. It suggests words for you to use and provides spoken feedback. Users of all ages who have problems writing and editing can benefit.

WordQ software is simple and easy to use. Install it and begin using it immediately with any word processor. Its features have been carefully selected and designed to provide you  with the most benefits while ensuring simplicity.

State-of-the-art word prediction suggests words when you have trouble spelling or choosing the right word.

Text-to-speech feedback enhances writing and editing. Letter echo confirms typing a character. Word echo helps you self-identify spelling errors. Word echo also confirms your selection of a predicted word. Sentence echo helps you hear the word flow in a sentence to decide whether the right words and punctuation are used.

A special text-reading mode helps you proofread. With Microsoft Word, WordPad, Notepad, or Outlook, text can be highlighted and spoken word-by-word within that application.

WordQ writing aid software currently supports Canadian and US spelling.

Through the creation of user files, the tool can be tailored to your personal writing needs. To further enhance your writing experience, WordQ software adapts to your writing style and improves its performance as you use it

Words are suggested in a word list that follows the text cursor as you type. You can hear each word spoken so that it is easier to distinguish words.

WordQ runs “transparent” to all applications under Microsoft Windows. That is, in comparison to some competing products which require the user to explicitly choose a target application, WordQ provides word prediction and speech output wherever the user types. Whenever the user switches applications, WordQ immediately works in that application without any additional operations. Further, no additional windows are required to type with the word predictions, nor to read back the user’s text, as is the case with some other products. Thus, the user can focus on the writing task and not shift attention away. 

The design philosophy of WordQ was driven by advice from educators to keep it simple and not duplicate any functions typically provided by current word processors, which include spell checking, grammar checking, and auto completion. For example, while WordQ internally spell checks words for prediction purposes, it does not replace the spell checker. However, by its design, WordQ enhances the user’s spelling and grammar through its intelligent word prediction and speech feedback such as allowing the user to hear spelling suggestions made by MS Word.
