## What is iWordQ UK?

iWordQ UK (English) 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. Triple-tap 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 out loud: 

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.

### 5/5 — IwordQ uk

*2012-12-02, version 1.0*

Thank you, this is going to open up the world of a severely dyslexic 13 year old.  She will now be able to start doing some real school work

Two suggestions
1.  Can we have a further option for phonically sounding out as you type.

2.  Coloured filtering for irlen,

This is epic!

### 4/5 — Brilliant it's finally here, but can still be improved

*2012-09-25, version 1.0*

I need this app for my 8 1/2 year old dyslexic and dysorthographic daughter. She will now be able to produce written material for school without pulling her hair out, as well as having written documents read out to her without getting disoriented and losing the plot (literally).
I was able today to show her teachers what WordQ is about, before having to purchase the PC version. Very good, thank you.
Here are a few points where the five stars would be well and truly earned:
- Think of Irlen Syndrome and make different background colours available, pale blue in my daughter's case. The bog standard black, white etc simply don't cut it for people suffering from visual stress: the background jumps out while the letters dance. 
- Allow for OpenDyslexic, various D'nealian and even Comic fonts. The choices are good, but not enough for dyslexics, especially those who reverse letters.
- Allow for custom letter spacing (see Dys app) as it is proven to help with crowding. Line spacing can be changed, why not allow letter spacing? Stretching out words, not chunks of text increases decoding, reading speed and comprehension.
- Allow in app purchase of different languages, rather than letting versions run separately. I need the French version (when that's ready) and am going to have to split my daughter's documents, she attends a bilingual school.
- Allow for folders so documents can be clearly labelled (again, dys sufferers need easy obvious access to documents).
We can't ask for the Moon as this is the first version and it is already brilliant to have this for iPad, but hey, there is always room for improvement!

Many thanks
