Dyslexia Assistive Technology Delivers Writing Independence To Children And Adults

Dyslexia Assistive Technology Delivers Writing Independence To Children And
Adults

Ghotit dramatically improves the work productivity of both students and
workers.

Ghotit, a provider of text correction technology has released its new and
improved spelling and grammar checker. Ghotit targets people who can't spell
close enough for traditional spell checkers to provide value. Millions of
people around the world do not find regular spell and grammar checkers
effective. These people include people with dyslexia (about 17% of the world
population),English Language Learners ELL, English as Second Language ESL
and millions of other people that the reasons for their problems were never
diagnosed.

Ghotit leverages its Intelligent Context Correction (ICC) patent-pending
technology to correct heavily misspelled words and misused words - words
that are spelled correctly but are out- of-context of the sentence being
written. Ghotit has recently leveraged its ICC technology to correct grammar
errors uncorrectable by regular spell checkers. In addition, Ghotit has
completely re-designed its Microsoft add-in to simplify the correction
process and integrate value added services such as Text-to-Speech,
Dictionary, and Search services.

Studies show that people that can't write fluently have problems in school,
in finding and maintaining a job and even in their personal life. Many of
Ghotit users have reported a dramatic increase in their writing competence,
resulting in a direct rise in their work or study productivity.

Ofer Chermesh, one of Ghotit's founders and a lifelong heavy dyslexic says
that for him Ghotit has replaced his personal human writing assistant. "In
the past before sending out any email, I always asked my wife to correct my
spelling. Now after I write, I press the Ghotit icon in Microsoft Word and
it intelligently corrects my spelling based on the context of what I have
written. I have won my writing independence."

correction algorithms that based on the writing patterns of a particular
writer optimizes its phonological processing engine to provide the most
optimal corrections. Ghotit is the perfect writing assistive technology for

worldwide and is available for private and educational institutes. As a
