Facilitating text comprehension of long-form text

Quillsoft有限公司位于多伦多，是帮助人们读写的辅助技术软件的领先者。Quillsoft由Fraser Shein博士于2000年与荷兰Bloorview儿童康复医院合作创建，包括WordQ在内的产品被250多万最终用户使用，主要是在教育领域。虽然WordQ和其他竞争对手的解决方案主要专注于写作，但Quillsoft一直从教育工作者那里听到，学生们在长文本理解方面遇到了困难。 为此，Quillsoft在开发长文本理解技术方面看到了商机，该公司计划将其纳入下一代产品。在之前与Seneca合作的基础上，Quillsoft再次与Asma Paracha教授和她的团队合作开发概念验证，为读者提供对长篇文本中包含的概念之间的多层次关系的洞察。一旦完全开发，这一新的和独特的文本理解解决方案将使Quillsoft能够增加和多样化其收入来源，并增加市场渗透率。

Located in Toronto, Quillsoft Ltd. is a leader in assistive technology software that helps people read and write. Founded by Dr. Fraser Shein in 2000, in partnership with Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, Quillsoft's products, including WordQ, are used by over 2.5 million end-users, primarily in the education field. While WordQ, and other competing solutions primarily focus on writing, Quillsoft consistently hears from educators that students struggle with long-form text comprehension. To that end, Quillsoft sees a business opportunity in developing long-form text comprehension technology that the company is planning to include in the next generation of its products. Building on the previous collaboration with Seneca, Quillsoft is partnering again with Professor Asma Paracha and her team to develop a proof-of-concept that will provide readers with insight into multi-level relationships between concepts contained in long-form texts. Once fully developed, this new and unique text comprehension solution will enable Quillsoft to increase and diversify its revenue stream and increase market penetration.
