SpeakQ

SpeakQ is a speech recognition technology by Quillsoft. SpeakQ is for those who cannot use other speech recognition products because they cannot fluently dictate at fast rate, remember verbal commands, and/or get through training. It enables users to dictate words into any standard Microsoft Windows document in either a continuous or discrete word-by-word manner.

SpeakQ is used in combination with WordQ 2. Together, these tools provide an integrated and flexible approach to writing, and assist students with their spelling, proofreading, and editing activities.
