WordQ has made reading, writing, and communication easier and more accessible for millions of people around the world.

Solutions For You at Every Stage of Life

  • Childhood

    Learning begins at an early age. WordQ with its elementary vocabularies can reduce barriers to literacy due to learning differences (e.g., dyslexia), neurodiversity, physical disability, and learning English or French as a second language.

  • Adolescence

    With more advanced WordQ language levels, we help teens with the assistance to succeed in their schoolwork, giving them the ability to be more independent and productive with less anxiety.

  • Adulthood

    Learning doesn’t stop when K-12 ends. With WordQ Pro, we encourage lifelong learning and provide support to adults with barriers to the literacy process, including disability and learning English or French as a second language.

  • Seniors

    Some reductions in physical wellbeing comes with aging. WordQ software can make the process of reading and typing easier, reducing friction in the digital age.

Our solutions are centered around the pioneering WordQ® technology, initially launched in 2001 and continuously refined thereafter.

WordQ is a user-friendly writing software tool designed to empower individuals in creating higher-quality writing with increased independence and confidence. It provides ongoing compensatory support for individuals with learning differences (e.g., dyslexia) or physical disabilities, as well as anyone facing writing barriers. Additionally, it complements reading and writing instruction, particularly for individuals learning English or French as a second language.

Available on four platforms—Windows, macOS, iPadOS, and Chrome (including Chromebooks)—WordQ offers slightly varied features for each. For individuals at home, we offer Standard and Pro versions of WordQ desktop software for both Windows and macOS platforms, along with iWordQ iPad software. The Pro versions expand the basic WordQ software with Professional/Higher Education vocabularies. Our WordQ for Google Chrome caters to students working at home.

WordQ supports both English and French languages across all versions. Each version incorporates state-of-the-art word prediction combined with text-to-speech functionality to aid in word selection. Additionally, a proofreading mode allows users to navigate through their documents, with portions read aloud to check for errors and overall flow. WordQ intelligently monitors keystrokes, presenting a list of predicted words and short phrases consistent with input. Users can audibly hear these suggestions and select them using keystrokes or mouse/trackpad. A creative spelling feature attempts to present the desired word despite spelling errors.

On Windows and macOS, WordQ's primary interface is a floating window that seamlessly interacts with various writing applications such as word processors or email programs. The iPad and Chrome versions offer similar assistance within a self-contained document editor. Moreover, the Windows, macOS, and Chrome versions include an accessible PDF viewer/editor, allowing users to read PDF documents aloud, fill out forms, and add annotations like sticky notes, all with WordQ's word prediction and speech feedback assistance.

Termed intelligent assistance (IA), we emphasize WordQ's role as a facilitator rather than an AI-driven tool. The goal is to encourage active participation in reading and writing, empowering users to be independent in their work and effortlessly express their ideas. WordQ provides tailored assistance to meet individual needs, fostering a proactive approach to learning and communication.
