What WordQ does:
Struggling writers can face many obstacles. These can include typing, spelling and punctuation. Confusion about words that sound the same such as “their and there” adds complexity to existing spelling issues. There is often the challenge of having enough confidence, focus or stamina to complete assignments.
WordQ is designed to assist you in overcoming these obstacles. You can focus on exploring your ideas while the
WordQ software helps you build well-structured sentences to create flow through your work. At the same time,
WordQ gives you the tools to become a more successful writer. You’ll no longer be limited to the basic words that you can spell, because
WordQ will help you write the more advanced words you know but need help with. As editing and proofreading become a natural part of your writing process, you will find that you start to think about your writing differently. You’ll likely notice that you start to build your writing in your mind and anticipate correct spelling as you think of words. Many
WordQ users have reported an improvement in the areas of writing, reading, comprehension and pronunciation. This is likely because
WordQ builds on skills you already have, such as thinking, speaking and listening.
WordQ is relevant to what you are doing and only available when you need it.
How WordQ works:
You want to write. The last thing you need is distractions. The functions included with
WordQ are specifically designed to be simple and practically invisible so you can focus on writing and speaking what’s on your mind. The nice thing about
WordQ is that you just need to know how to click a mouse and tap the keys on a keyboard to use the simple and effective functions: By turning the Words button on or off, you can have constant editing help while you write.
WordQ helps with spelling and word variety and offers assistance with every letter you type. Or, if you prefer, you can just turn
WordQ on when you are stuck on a word.
WordQ's Speech button lets you hear the words as you type them and also hear the sentences you complete. Using
WordQ, you can listen to each of the options in the word box as well as examples for words with similar meaning. Because
WordQ's read-back is clear and uses proper rhythm, most mistakes in grammar, spelling or punctuation are more noticeable. Select some text and hit the Read button to hear it read aloud.
WordQ works anywhere there is text that you can highlight, such as web pages, emails, and instant-messaging programs like Facebook, Twitter and MSN.
