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.
