Ghotit’s Web site explains, “In the world of spellchecking, the degree of how badly a word is misspelled is measured by the editing distance of the misspelled word to the intended word. The longer the editing distance, the longer the list of candidate words offered. This long list is seen as adding ‘noise’ to the spellchecking algorithm. Ordinary spellcheckers are tuned for people with mild spelling mistakes, and therefore prefer to minimize the list of candidate words.”
Ghotit has an internal long list of words; however, it can also “reduce this list and present to the user only the words that make sense in the context of the specific written sentence.” It can be integrated into Word and Microsoft applications for only US $10 a month and is free to schools and online users. But, it’s not just for dyslexics; it can be used for anyone with other disabilities, just poor spelling habits, or for ESL students. For more information: ofer@ghotit.com, www.ghotit.com.
