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
