Advanced Spelling and Grammar Correction Method

1888PressRelease - The Ghotit 2-step correction process for people with dyslexia who want to increase their typing speed while still producing error-free text.

It's known that the best text correction for people with dyslexia is done by human proofreading. However, if we adopt this approach, those with dyslexia will never gain their writing independence.

There are three major assistive technologies that enable writing independence:

1. Spelling and grammar checkers
2. Word-prediction software
3. Dictation software (speech to text)

Each one of these technologies has its own pros and cons. Spelling and grammar correction, if designed for people with dyslexia and dysgraphia, i.e. Ghotit Real Writer&Reader 3, corrects spelling and grammar errors, including punctuation and real-word (misused words) errors. This technology achieves the best results as it is the closest to the human corrections process: it analyzes the entire text, "understands it", and then corrects with knowledge of the entire context.

Unfortunately, for many people their writing problems start with the very typing of the text. Their typing is extremely slow. Spelling and grammar correction technology cannot help with these typing issues. Word-prediction and Dictation technologies were designed in part to overcome this "typing limitation", and they are very helpful in enabling a user to type text at a quicker pace.

However, even the best Word-prediction or Dictation solutions developed with grammar and phonetics awareness (i.e. Ghotit Word-Prediction, a part of the Ghotit Real Writer&Reader 3), their texts written or dictated are known to contain the following types of errors:

1. Misused words (real-words spelled correctly but placed out of context);
2. Grammar errors;
3. Lack of appropriate punctuation and punctuation errors.

The reason for this partial success is because Word-predictors and Dictation software have the

    Jack Horner’s “The Extraordinary Characteristics of Dyslexia” challenged my perception of dyslexics. He contrasts two different mindsets and gives encouragement to those that may feel burdened by dyslexia. Horner struggled with dyslexia growing up and even failed out of college multiple times. He persevered through his failures, learned to think outside the box, and achieved success as a renowned paleontologist. While most might view dyslexia negatively, Horner views it as a way of understanding the world that in some ways is superior.…

    Reading has gone from print to becoming digital in today’s world and affects not only the way we read but also the way we communicate with one another, since we are conscience about technology altering the way we read. Remember what a book looks like? Let me show you that by leaving our prints behind, the way we read today has scaled to a digital level, leaving standard books and letters obsolete. Even though you can’t furnish a room with just a single device, like you are able with books, or you can’t necessarily fling your e-reader across the room because you risk breaking it.

    Texting may be fun and time saving with friends, but is looked down upon by many teachers. School papers should have correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Textspeak does not require correct spelling, many smart-phones will autocorrect the spelling, or the writer abbreviates the words. Grammar is not necessarily correct all the time because text messages are shortened as much as possible, and capital letters are disregarded to save time and keep messages short. Many text messages do not have punctuation because writers use fragment sentences and pay no attention to proper commas, semicolons, question marks and other punctuation marks. Text messages do not require the same standards as academic papers do.…
