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.
