The questions people ask before they buy

WordQ combines word prediction, high-quality text-to-speech, speech-to-text, proofreading support and an accessible PDF viewer and editor in one tool. As you type, it suggests words based on the words that came before, reads suggestions and finished passages aloud, and shows usage examples for words that sound alike.

It supports the whole writing process, not just the typing: ThoughtQ helps before writing, prediction and speech help during it, and read-back helps afterwards.

No. We describe WordQ as intelligent assistance rather than artificial intelligence. It suggests, reads back and prompts, but the writer chooses every word, so the work stays theirs and the skills keep building. Nothing is generated on the writer's behalf.

Standard is built for elementary, intermediate and secondary students, with age-appropriate vocabulary templates and dictionaries in English and French.

Pro is built for higher education and the workplace, adding a larger associated background dictionary of approximately 30,000 words. The Professional vocabularies are not suitable for young children.

Both include full word prediction, text-to-speech, the proofreading toolkit, the PDF viewer and editor, and ThoughtQ topics.

On Windows and macOS, WordQ runs as a floating window that works alongside the applications you already use. The Chrome and iPad versions are self-contained editors instead.

• Speech recognition is available on Windows and Chrome.

• The accessible PDF viewer and editor is available on Windows, macOS and Chrome.

• iWordQ for iPad works without an internet connection, which suits learners who move between settings.

No. WordQ is used by people with learning differences, neurodivergent writers, people with physical or fine-motor difficulties, English and French language learners, and anyone who finds reading and writing a barrier for any reason. Reduced keystrokes help writers who find typing physically tiring as much as they help with spelling.

Orthographic prediction works from the letters typed. Phonetic prediction works from how a word sounds, so it can find the intended word even when the spelling is well off — useful for writers whose spelling attempts are sound-based.

On Windows, phonetic prediction ships turned off. Turn it on at Options → Prediction → Prediction and tick "Predict words based on phonetic spelling", or tick the box during the New User Setup Wizard. See how prediction types work.

Yes. Every version includes English and French vocabularies and text-to-speech, and users can switch between them, which suits bilingual settings and language learners. On WordQ for Windows the interface language follows your system language automatically.

For Francophone purchasing, our exclusive French-language distributor is Nureka Technologies.

WordQ supports a writer in the moment the words they need, read back to them, as they work. Units of Sound teaches the underlying skills, moving a learner in structured steps from a single unit of sound to reading and writing full paragraphs.

Many settings use both. N-HELPP goes further again, adding live teaching through the Nisai Virtual Academy alongside Units of Sound and WordQ.

Yes. The trial is the same software as the full product; it simply expires after 30 day for Windows and macOS and 14 days for WordQ for Chrome, unless a licence is purchased. If the trial expires before you have made a decision, you can activate it at any point afterwards without reinstalling.
