Young learners
For younger learners, consider creating a limited initial vocabulary
and/or reducing the number of predicted words.
For some young learners, the starter vocabulary of 5,000 may be too
great. Instead you might choose to begin with a ‘blank’ vocabulary.
Then add just a few words, so that the learner is, for example, only
using the vocabulary from a particular story they’ve just learned.
Continue to add new words on later days. You may also reduce the
number of predicted words shown to make it less confusing.
Confident writers/typists
If you find you can write/type more confidently, you can leave the
prediction box hidden most of the time. Then show it when you’ve hit
a blank or don’t know how to spell a word.
• Click on the Words icon or press F9 key to hide and show the
prediction box.
• Similarly, you can choose to turn the speech feedback on only when
you want it.
• Click on the Speech icon or press F10 to turn the speech feedback
off and on.
In the workplace
A lot of people find WordQ helpful to them at work. You can use
WordQ to assist you with writing memos, e-mails, business letters or
reports. You may find it useful to use a pair of earphones with
WordQ so that the speech feedback does not interfere with your
colleagues.
More than one user
Any number of people can use WordQ and it will learn and remember
the different ways each person uses it. Each person must choose a
vocabulary and save it with a unique user name. Whenever WordQ is
closed it will remember the current user vocabulary. That vocabulary
will be used the next time you run WordQ. If this is not your
vocabulary, then choose Open User... from the Options menu and
choose your own vocabulary.
If your computer is set up for multiple users to log in, WordQ will
remember each user’s particular vocabulary when logged in once they
have chosen it.
