Network and single station
requirements/hardware configuration
WordQ has been designed for individual
workstations with single or multiple users. That is, only one user
may run a single installation of WordQ at a time. However, that copy
of WordQ may open and run more than one user vocabulary file. There
are no limits on the number of user vocabulary files used with one
WordQ installation.
WordQ may be installed directly on an individual
workstation or it may be installed on a network with an installation
in each user’s network workspace (User drive). Thus, many
simultaneous users may be served with multiple WordQ installations
on a network. On a network, the System Administrator must install
WordQ. Users must be given full read and write privileges within
the WordQ subdirectory.
Sound cards
Any sound card may be used, although cards that
support multiple output channels are required if other software is
used that fully occupies a sound channel (e.g., RealPlayer).
Competing sound applications must be turned off while using WordQ
with single-channel sound cards. External speakers may be used, but
headphones are suggested for classroom use. Text-to-speech voices
are included with a telephone frequency range suitable for lower
quality headsets.
