WordQ allows you to customize your vocabulary to get the best
predictions for different situations. You can improve word
prediction by:
• Expanding your vocabulary by adding new words one-at-a-time or by
having WordQ learn from existing files
• Focusing your vocabulary for a specialized writing project by using
topics
• Limiting your vocabulary by beginning with a blank vocabulary
(usually for a young learner)
Expanding your vocabulary
It is a good idea to add personal words (family, friends and special
words) or phrases to your WordQ vocabulary such as the names of
family and friends.
You can quickly expand your vocabulary by having WordQ learn words
and their usage from existing documents.
For example, you can have WordQ learn from articles that you may be
reading on the Internet. The first step is to copy those articles
into a word processor or text editor such as Notepad. You must then
save the file in a text-only format (*.txt). You may also learn from
past documents you have written that are re-saved in a text-only
format.
Focusing your vocabulary
You can emphasize words in the prediction by using topics. A topic
is a list of words that are part of your vocabulary that will be
predicted faster.
When you first use WordQ, a sample baseball topic is available for
you to try out.
Topic words are best written out in advance using a word processor
or Notepad and saved in text-only (*.txt) format. Enter only one
topic word or short phrase (up to 30 letters) per line. Ensure that
these words are correctly spelled as they will not be spellchecked
by WordQ. The folder ...\WordQ2\Topics initially contains sample
text files for different topics that you may find useful.
