Network and single station requirements / hardware configuration
WordQ/SpeakQ has been designed for individual workstations with
single or multiple users. That is, only one user may run a single
installation at a time. However, that copy of WordQ/SpeakQ may open
and run more than one user vocabulary file. There are no limits on
the number of user vocabulary files used with one WordQ/SpeakQ
installation.
WordQ/SpeakQ may be installed directly on an individual workstation
or it may be installed on a network with an installation in each
user’s network workspace (User drive). Thus, many simultaneous users
may be served with multiple WordQ installations on a network. On a
network, the System Administrator must install WordQ. Users must be
given full read and write privileges within the WordQ subdirectory.
WordQ v2.2 and SpeakQ v1.2 may installed with network supported
where WordQ/SpeakQ are installed as part of a master image on a
workstation that is locked down with DeepFreeze or similar program.
In this situation, all user files (word prediction and speech
recognition) are saved on remote server in each user’s network
workspace (User drive). See FAQ WordQ v2.2 and SpeakQ v1.2 Network
Installation.
Sound cards
Any sound card may be used, although cards that support multiple
output channels are required if other software is used that fully
occupies a sound channel (e.g., RealPlayer). Competing sound
applications must be turned off while using WordQ with
single-channel sound cards. External speakers may be used, but
headphones are suggested for classroom use. Text-to-speech voices
are included with a telephone frequency range suitable for lower
quality headsets.
