WordQ Software Features

WordQ 2 Advantages

• A high-quality natural sounding text-to-speech engine by the Acapela Group is included so that text is more clearly heard
• In-context prediction makes corrections easier by displaying appropriate word predictions wherever the text cursor is placed, even when the cursor is in the middle of a word
• A temporarily disappearing word prediction box allows you to move through your documents without distraction while holding down any arrow key
• Usage examples with speech feedback of commonly confused words, such as “there” and “their,” helps you distinguish such words
  
• Creative spelling is now optionally considered as you type when predicting words to show you spellchecked suggestions
  
• Saving user vocabularies and usage examples as an independent file allows easier editing and sharing with other users

WordQ v2.5 Improvements

• The Read mode has been improved for reading scanned documents and e-books.
• The Acapela text-to-speech engine has been upgraded.
• WordQ now supports working with Microsoft Paint so that users can now scan a page (e.g., workbook or test) as a bitmap, and then use WordQ to enter text over top.
• SAPI 4 text-to-speech has been replaced with SAPI 5 text-to-speech. This eliminates conflict problems experienced with some other software that used SAPI 4, such Dragon NaturallySpeaking. As a consequence, WordQ is now supported in Windows XP and Vista only.
