Word Prediction and Reading App!!!

iWordQ

Happy Friday Everyone :-).  For those of you who don't know about iWordQ yet it is one of my favourite apps for students who are in need of a word prediction and reading app. 

iWordQ in Writing Mode-it assists students who need the support of word prediction, abbreviation-expansion and speech feedback features.  Spell-check and dictionary access is included.  Speech recognition (for speech to text) is available for iPad 3, 4 and mini's.

iWordQ in Reading Mode- text is shown in a more visually pleasing way to improve readability.  It is used for editing and proofreading, learning to read, silent reading, other reading modes.

It is great for writing and then cutting and pasting or "opening in" other applications where you would like your writing to appear (i.e. Pages, Explain Everything, Email, SMS-text messaging, Facebook, Twitter and a variety of other apps as well).

It is more expensive at $24.99, but it is well worth the investment for individuals who are in need of this type of assistance. ( It has been a life saver at home for my LD son, the both of us no longer want to pull our hair out when he has writing tasks to be completed). 

The WordQ software on the computer does the same thing as the app on the iPad. (WordQ is available on all of our school board computers).  

If you are needing any assistance on using the app or the software I would be happy to help.
