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
