To use WordQ with Google Docs, Slides, and Forms, you must turn on the following support settings in Docs menu Tools>Accessibility: Screenreader, Braille and Screen Magnifier

WordQ v6+ requires Windows 10 and later.

From Options>Open User… select Legacy WordQ User File (.wdq) (located in the bottom right-hand corner) as the file type in the Open dialog, and then choose your desired legacy user profile.

By default, the labels on the WordQ buttonbar are not visible. You can display the labels under:

Options>Preferences...>Show labels on toolbar buttons.

Note: Labels must be visible if the user requires complete keyboard accessibility.

WordQ by design interacts with the physical keyboard buffer, not all OSK’s interact with this system function. Operating system updates continually change the interaction between OSK and the main system functions. WordQ may or may not work with an OSK.

WordQ 6 offers an integrated PDF feature. However, WordQ requires that PDF documents be accessible, that is, they must have underlying readable text. If you create a PDF document by scanning, be sure to turn on the option on your scanner (which may be a school copier for example) to create searchable text, which will make it accessible.

The trial software is the same as the full product, except it expires after 30 days unless you purchase a license. You can activate an expired trial at anytime, even if it's past the initial 30 days.

You can use WordQ to read a printed textbook or some other source. To do this you will need to scan the book with a scanner that has Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability. OCR converts the photo that the scanner takes into text that programs like WordQ can read.

Once you have the text file that the OCR program created, open it in a word processor, like Microsoft Word or Notepad and use the "Read" feature in WordQ to have it read back to you.

* There are a few ways to type numbers. If you have a numeric keypad on your keyboard, typing on it will put in numbers rather than predicting words. At Options->Prediction-> Selection you can also reverse this, so that it is the keyboard that puts in numbers and the numeric keypad that makes word selections.

* Another option is to pause the word prediction to put in numbers. You can hit the F9 key to turn off word prediction, then type the numbers, and then F9 again to turn it back on.

* If typing numbers is a real problem, you can go to Options->Prediction->Selection, and turn off selection by number and just use the mouse or arrow keys to pick what word you want to use.
