 “Plenty of people speak eloquently, yet struggle to pin words to a page ... Thankfully, there's software available that can help.”

 "I had my husband try out this software, as he is a native Spanish speaker, and with English as his second language, he has trouble at times getting his thoughts down on paper.  As a member of Toastmasters International, he gives speeches each month in front of his group, in  order to improve his public speaking skills.  Prior to giving his speeches, he writes them down and then tries to memorize them.  If he is not suffering from writer's block, he is getting frustrated trying to think of the right words to use.  At times, he may know the word in Spanish, but trying to figure out the English equivalent brings headaches.  As a result, he tries to simplify his writing by choosing basic English language words he knows and can spell.  With the help of WordQ, he doesn't have to settle anymore with simple sentences.  Instead, this software helps him structure complex sentences based on his ideas.  This has provided him with a greater sense of pride in his writing.

After a week of using WordQ + SpeakQ, he is hooked.  He doesn't know how he "settled" for so long, and dealt with endless days of frustration when it came to getting his thoughts across in writing.  He especially loved how the SpeakQ software could understand his voice and what he was saying.  Other voice recognition products he has tried in the past didn't work, as they couldn't make out his thick accent.

Overall, my husband gives this software package 2 thumbs up.  If you or your children have trouble with writing (including those with learning disabilities), why not try a 30 day trial of this software today.  Who knows, maybe you will be on the path to happier writing like my husband."

 "Thank you so much for your help and time with the 3 products. My son was so excited this morning when I showed him the word/speak q program. What a difference this will make in his learning. I cannot fully express my appreciation, continue making differences in other children's lives. You have made a difference in our lives.
Sincerely,"

-Kaia (Mom and Special education Teacher)

"I find it helpful when I don't know how to spell a word."

-Student

"I have three students who have been introduced to Word Q. They enjoy using the program and find it very useful for completing written assignments. All students like the prediction box and being able to choose the words they need. They also like having the text read back to them. The program makes writing enjoyable and fun. Several students have said "This is so
cool miss!"."

-Karen (Special Education Teacher)

"I have to say that I am very pleased with the WordQ/SpeakQ software, as my LD students have started to demonstrate greater independence and success in their reading and writing tasks. They seem to be more eager to take on writing tasks as they know that they are going to experience greater success using these programs. I have started using the WordQ/SpeakQ software with a student whose has a cognitive disorder and has difficulty writing. This student has been highly motivated in using these programs to assist with writing, and has begun writing small basic paragraphs rather than a single sentence. It has truly helped to promote inclusion of all students in many different classroom activities. I have had the opportunity to train other teachers in using the WordQ/SpeakQ software, and in every session I am more amazed at the capability and user friendliness of these programs. It is great to watch the faces of colleagues light up as they explore these programs and realize that WordQ/SpeakQ is a perfect fit for many of their struggling students. I have been working with a student with a severe Learning Disability for the past five years and we have explored and used various types of assistive technology. It has been very difficult to motivate this student and get them to attain a reasonable level of independence in reading and writing tasks. Last year, I trained this student on WordQ/SpeakQ and his level of independence has improved significantly. It is wonderful to walk by the classroom now and see the student sitting amongst classmates working away independently with the assistance of the WordQ/SpeakQ programs on their laptop. As a result of the improved level of independence, this student is now writing tests in the regular classroom on computer with the aid of WordQ/SpeakQ."

-Brian (Teacher)

" I have been using WordQ/Speak Q with a variety of elementary students. One student in particular, with a moderate learning disability, has been experiencing amazing success with the program.  It has opened up a new world for him which he never thought was possible.  He is constantly asking myself and another teacher when the next time will be for him to use the program.  He is interested in school beyond all imagination because of WordQ/SpeakQ."

-Rod (Teacher)

“Every teacher and student that I've shown this software, loved it! They use it to help them with writing; they also use it with other programs or doing emails.”

-Parent

“We told our daughter to download WordQ onto her laptop. She had so much to say about this new found skill set (for lack of a better phrase). She was in tears and couldn't believe why this software wasn't presented to her years ago. She stated she wasalready writing like a pro and the program was intuitive and really easy to use. All this just in time for exams and final essays.”

-Lyse Brothman, Mother

“If I am writing a story and I don’t know how to spell a word I can’t just yell ‘HOW DO YOU SPELL WARRANTY?’ and expect God to give the answer. With the computer, if I don’t know the word I can use word prediction.”
