Simplify district-wide rollout. Support every learner.

WordQ is a versatile literacy support tool for English and French across Windows, macOS, iPadOS, and Chrome (including Chromebooks), with features tailored to each platform's environment.

At its core, WordQ provides advanced word prediction and text-to-speech capabilities, tracking keystrokes to suggest relevant words that can be heard and selected via keyboard or mouse including a creative spelling feature that finds the intended word even with misspellings

On Windows and macOS, WordQ uses a floating window that integrates with any writing application, while iPad and Chrome versions offer a self-contained editor. Speech recognition is available on Windows and Chrome, and an accessible PDF viewer/editor is available on Windows, macOS, and Chrome, supporting form completion and annotation with full assistive support.

Districts can license WordQ Desktop and Chrome for individual students, in volumes, school-wide, and district-wide. iWordQ for iPads must be purchased from the Apple App Store

Multiple licensing options — individual, volume, school, and district-wide allow districts to align investment with budget cycles and evolving enrollment. Pro-rata agreements support financial planning, and multi-year options reduce uncertainty for upcoming years:

• Individual licences — where support is required for one student

• Volume licences — where support is provided to more than 5 students in a school; WordQ for Google Chrome includes a Customer Admin Portal so your district can manage its own licences

• School/District-Wide licences — made available based on student population and deployed by domain, making it easier for technical teams to deploy to every machine

WordQ for Windows and macOS can function securely offline (other than licence activation and licence renewal), meeting data privacy standards and supporting continuity for students without robust home internet access. Across all platforms, WordQ does not collect usage data from a user, and licences can be set up at the volume, school, and district level without needing an individual user email address

WordQ is known for its word prediction functionality, but it provides pre-, peri-, and post-writing support:

• Pre-writing (ThoughtQ) — A dynamic topic research tool that helps students of all ages connect words and ideas related to their subject, validate existing knowledge, introduce new concepts, and generate "thought trigger" words for deeper research on reports, essays, and projects

• Peri-writing — Word prediction, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech provide words and usage examples in real time as students write

• Post-writing (proofreading) — Students hear their completed work read back to them and identify corrections independently

WordQ's word prediction assists students who struggle with spelling or word choice, reducing errors and cognitive load. Text-to-speech lets students hear their writing read aloud, supporting proofreading, grammar, pronunciation, and comprehension. Teachers can customize WordQ with word lists and banks tailored to lesson topics, making it adaptable for every proficiency level across every school in the district. School-wide implementation, paired with ongoing teacher training, ensures both students and staff maximize the program's benefits promoting inclusion, improved writing outcomes, and stronger technology proficiency system-wide

WordQ is an assistive technology tool designed to support reading and writing for individuals facing learning barriers, such as students with learning differences or those acquiring a new language. This supports the principles of making the individual an active participant in their learning rather than a  mere spectator. It features intelligent word prediction, text-to-speech, speech recognition, and proofreading, helping users find and correct mistakes, expand vocabulary, and improve comprehension without judgment or pressure. 

WordQ’s approach exemplifies intelligent assistance (IA): it actively supports users in performing tasks, enhancing their abilities and independence, but always keeps the individual in control.

In contrast, artificial intelligence (AI) focuses on creating systems that can mimic or replicate human intelligence, often operating autonomously to solve complex problems, make decisions, or learn from data. 

While intelligent assistance like WordQ augments an individual’s capability within defined boundaries, artificial intelligence aims for broader autonomy and adaptability, sometimes functioning independently of direct human input

 WordQ is described as intelligent assistance (IA), encouraging active participation and independence in reading and writing, rather than functioning as AI that completes tasks for the user. This approach fosters confidence, self-reliance, and effective communication
