iWordQ US 3.4.2

iWordQ US (English) presents itself as a comprehensive writing and reading application designed specifically for individuals facing challenges in these areas. The application features distinct modes—Writing and Reading—each equipped with user-friendly tools to enhance the writing and comprehension experience.

Writing Mode

• Word Prediction: As users type, suggested words are presented, allowing for straightforward selection. Included are usage examples to clarify the differences between phonetically similar words, such as homonyms. Even unconventional spellings are accommodated by the prediction system, ensuring a flexible writing process.
• Speech Feedback: Holding down a predicted word activates high-quality text-to-speech functionality, providing auditory feedback for both typed words and selected predictions. Upon completing sentences with punctuation, the text is read back, enhancing understanding of structure. Text selection can be tailored through simple gestures to facilitate engagement.
• Abbreviation-Expansion: Users can create customized abbreviation expansions to streamline their writing process. These abbreviations are integrated within the prediction tool, supporting flexibility and efficiency during composition.
• Sharing: Automatic document saving enhances workflow continuity, with options for retrieval through the File menu. Sharing capabilities include Dropbox integration and various platforms such as email, Facebook, and Twitter, enabling seamless collaboration and distribution of written content.

Reading Mode

• Proofreading: Users can listen for errors while text is read aloud, tapping individual words for auditory confirmation. This function aids in identifying spelling errors or incorrect word choices. A swipe feature allows for the selection of multiple words for simultaneous reading, enhancing error detection across phrases.
• Reading to Learn: Employing a unique patent-pending Text Chunking method, this mode encourages users to concentrate on segments of text rather than isolated words. This approach facilitates comprehension by offering natural pauses reminiscent of effective public speaking.
• Reading Out Loud: The application can serve as a teleprompter, aligning reading pace with auditory prompts or allowing users to read at their self-determined speed. Highlighting of sentences and chunks assists in maintaining focus.
• Reading Silently: For those who prefer quiet engagement with text, speech feedback can be disabled while still benefiting from the text highlighting feature that aids navigation through the material.
• Casual Reading: Users can initiate casual reading by selecting a starting sentence, followed by playing through the text either automatically or manually, facilitating relaxed consumption of written content.
