WordQ

WordQ
[|WordQ] is a word prediction and screen reading program which provides support for students who struggle with writing, spelling, editing and reading. It is ideal for students with learning disabilities, when English is a second language and for those students who just need a little extra support. WordQ provides a toolbar that sits seemlessly on top of any other application including Word, Excel, Powerpoint or any internet browser.

When a student types, they are provided with a word list based on the characters they have entered. WordQ does allow for creative spelling so even if the student is typing a word incorrectly, it may still appear in the list. If the student sees or hears the word they want, they are able to click on that word to enter it into their document.

The auditory component of WordQ is one of its biggest features. It provides students with auditory feedback as the student needs it. It can repeat every word as it is completed, repeat every sentence as soon as ending punctuation is provided or it can read any text on the screen (this includes when surfing the web for research).

These are merely the basic features that are provided through WordQ. There are many other, more advanced features. Some of which can be seen in this video demonstration from YouTube. You can also go to the WordQ [|website]for more information.
