What our SpeakQ users say:
“There’s nothing on the
market that combines speech recognition and word prediction as a single product
in this way.”
–Bob Follansbee, EducationDevelopmentCenter
“Before this technology, my
son’s school only ever saw him as a learning-disabled child with a pile of
deficits. Now they see a kid with all these strengths.” –Parent
“SpeakQ is developed in a
manner that keeps the focus where it should be!” –ATP
“The Speak and select
feature is terrific.It will make it
easier to train younger students on speech recognition.” – Ed.D.
“Training is very
easy.We like the choices for training
by age and reading ability.”-Special Educator
“I had a 9-year old laugh
out loud and say, “Look at that – I wrote a paragraph.” SpeakQ worked for her!
It has gotten my approval.” –Teacher
“We told our daughter to download WordQ onto
her laptop. She had so much to say about
this new found skill set (for lack of a better phrase). She was in tears and couldn't believe why this
software wasn't presented to her years ago. She stated she was already writing like a pro
and the program was intuitive and really easy to use. All this just in time for exams and final
essays.”
-Lyse Brothman,
Mother
“If I am writing a
story and I don’t know how to spell a word I can’t just yell ‘HOW DO YOU SPELL
WARRANTY?’ and expect God to give the answer.With the computer, if I don’t know the word I can use word prediction.”
-Gabe
