## What is iWordQ CA?

iWordQ CA (Canadian English only) is an easy-to-use writing and reading application to assist struggling writers and readers. 

In Writing mode, a simple text editor is used for writing with the support of word prediction, abbreviation-expansion and speech feedback features. Spell-check and dictionary access is included. You can also use speech recognition.

In Reading mode, text is shown in a more visually pleasing manner to improve readability. This is used for proofreading, reading to learn, silent reading, reading aloud, and casual reading/listening. A novel text chunking method (patent-pending) can be selected to enhance comprehension and readability of text to allow you to focus on one text chunk at a time.

WRITING MODE

>Word Prediction:

Predicted words are displayed as you type. Tap a predicted word to select it. Usage examples are provided to help distinguish close-sounding words (including homonyms). Even if you are creative in your spelling, iWordQ will still predict. As you move the text cursor, predictions are shown accurately. 

>Speech Feedback:

Touch and hold a predicted word to hear it spoken with high-quality text-to-speech. Words typed or selected from the prediction list will be read out loud.  As you complete each sentence by adding punctuation it will be read back to you when you tap 'space'. Selected text can also be spoken with word-by-word highlighting. Double-tap a word to select a word; drag to extend selection. Double-tap to select a paragraph. Select speech button to display a speech review control and advance forward and backward by sentences/words.

>Abbreviation-Expansion:

Use your own customized abbreviation-expansions, also known as text macros, to simplify your writing. Abbreviations are also shown in the prediction list. Expansions can include any character including punctuation and multiple paragraphs. 

>Sharing

Text documents are saved automatically and are retrieved from the File menu. Dropbox support is included for sharing documents across systems. Documents may also be shared through several other connections, including e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, Message, the pasteboard, and opening in other Apps. 

READING MODE

The iPad onscreen keyboard is hidden and your current sentence from the Writing mode is shown in black text with the surrounding text in grey to focus attention on the current sentence. Select any another sentence by tapping it.

>Proofreading:

Listen for mistakes while sentences are spoken. Tap an individual word to highlight it and hear it spoken. This is useful to hear whether a word sounds correct. It may be spelled incorrectly, may be in the wrong form, or it may simply be the wrong word. Touch and swipe across more than one word to highlight a group of words that will be spoken out when you lift your finger. This is useful to hear whether word combinations are correct. 

>Reading to learn:

Use the patent-pending Text Chunking to focus on text chunks or segments (rather than individual words) and add breathing space to comprehend your text before moving on. This is intended to mimic a good public speaker. When you tap within a sentence, a segment about that point will be highlighted and spoken. When playing a sentence, a pause is inserted after each text chunk to allow you to catch up before listening to the next one. 

>Reading aloud:

Use iWordQ like a teleprompter and read out loud at the same pace as if spoken by iWordQ or read out loud at your own pace. Sentences (and text chunks) will be highlighted as you move through the text.

>Reading silently:

Turn speech feedback off and read out silently at the same pace as if spoken by iWordQ or read silently at your own pace. Sentences (and text chunks) will be highlighted as you move through the text.

>Casual reading:

Tap the first sentence to identify the starting point. Then play the sentences either automatically or manually.

### 4/5 — Me

NOT BAD NOT BAD

### 1/5 — Not like word q for desktop

*2016-03-15, version 3.2*

This app is not at all like word q for a desktop. I bought this thinking it would be similar, mainly that it would work in other apps to help with spelling and writing.  Only it doesn't do this.  Very disappointed

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2014-05-07, version 1.3.1*

This is a fantastic app to help students with special needs. One of the best apps I used for school use. I hope they add the import feature, but it is still a golden app. Worth every penny.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2014-04-04, version 1.3.1*

The file system is not good but the word suggestion is, so not to bad

### 2/5 — Falls a bit short

*2013-11-14, version 1.3.1*

I was very excited to download this app to mirror the laptop version that we have for my dyslexic child. However, I'm disappointed to discover that you can only save a file that is typed from within iwordq to dropbox etc. It would be nice to be able to import a file from dropbox, pages etc. into iwordq so that read feature can be used to the fullest and not just on documents generated from within iwordq. The only way I can see getting around this is to copy and paste from external documents to iwordq . . . cumbersome. 

Pricey considering the short comings.

Additional issues . . . can you not change a file name once it's created? There is absolutely no app support on the company website.

### 3/5 — Langue

*2013-05-24, version 1.2*

Bonjour
J ai moi aussi acheté la version française, mais la voix est anglaise ainsi que la majorité des mots prédits!! Comment faire pour avoir le tout en français. Ou sinon comment me faire rembourser?
Merci

### 5/5 — Iword q Ça

*2013-03-19, version 1.2*

J ai acheté le Iword q CA mais la langue est anglaise et j 'ai besoin du word Q En langue française   Que pouvez vous faire pour qu on puisse échanger l application mais en langue française?   

Merci de l attention que vous donnerez à cette demande

### 2/5 — Falls a bit short of description

*2013-02-28, version 1.1*

As a writing tool, awesome app, parallels AppWriterUs but as a reading app of external content it doesn't live up to its description because you cannot import pdf or other such files into iWordQ.

### 3/5 — A bit disappointed

*2012-10-16, version 1.0*

I am a special education teacher and love the WordQ app for the computer.  When I saw this app I was hoping to be able to use the reading feature for PDFs.  Unfortunately, you cannot import documents.  The word prediction and speech feedback are great for documents that the students are creating, I'm just not sure that it's worth the $24.99 price tag. If they improve the app to let you import PDFs, it would be well worth the price.
