Our solutions are based around WordQ® technology, first released in 2001 and constantly improved in the following years. For higher education we offer Pro versions of WordQ desktop software for both Windows and macOS platforms, as well as iWordQ iPad software for iPad. These expand the basic WordQ software with Professional/Academic vocabularies.

WordQ is a simple-to-use writing software tool that helps students create better quality writing with greater independence and confidence. It provides ongoing compensatory support for students with learning differences (e.g., dyslexia) or physical disabilities, and in general, any student who faces barriers to writing for any reason. As well, it can complement reading and writing instruction for students who are learning English or French as a second language.

WordQ supports both English and French

Both WordQ Pro desktop and iPad versions offer state-of the-art word prediction combined with text-to-speech to help with word selection, as well as a proofreading mode where the student can navigate through their document, having portions read aloud to check for errors and overall flow. WordQ watches the student’s keystrokes and presents a list of ‘predicted’ words and short phrases that are consistent with those keystrokes. The student can hear these words spoken aloud and select them by keystroke or mouse/trackpad. A creative spelling facility attempts to work around errors in spelling to still present the desired word.

On Windows and macOS, WordQ’s main interface is a floating window that hovers over and interacts with any application that involves writing such as a word processor or an email program. The iPad versions offer the same assistance but within a self-contained document editor.

We call this technology, intelligent assistance, or IA, rather than AI. In general, the approach is to encourage you to be an active participant in reading and writing, not a passive spectator. WordQ does not write for you. Rather, you get assistance to be independent in your work and get your ideas down easily.

WordQ Desktop and iWordQ are completely secure and don’t require an internet connection, except to download and activate.

Higher educational institutions can license WordQ Pro Desktop and Chrome for individual students, in volumes, labs, and institution-wide.

Higher education students can purchase WordQ Pro Desktop individually from the Store on this website.

iWordQ for iPads must be purchased from the Apple App Store.
