(1888PressRelease) September 17, 2012 - Dyslexia is the most prevalent of all known learning disabilities. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), approximately 5-15 percent of the population suffers from severe reading, and writing difficulties associated with dyslexia. Dyslexics spend significant time, effort and money to improve their written communication skills.

One of the main challenges for people with dyslexia is managing their daily tasks that require writing. For examples students that need to write homework assignments and reports or employees that constantly need to respond to emails. Dyslexics are challenges by both the quality of their written text (producing correctly spelled text) and by the time and effort required by them to produce this text.

Ofer Chermesh is a lifelong dyslexic and one of Ghotit's founders. The struggle of producing "high quality" text in a timely fashion is well known to him. "Regular spell checkers were designed for mainstream English writers, not dyslexics. Regular spell checkers are targeting people with good spelling capabilities that occasionally make spelling mistakes, not dyslexics like me" says Ofer Chermesh.

Regular spell checkers are designed to correct spelling mistakes that are relatively close to the correct spelling. In order to identify the correct spelling of a poorly spelled word, the context of the sentence needs to be analyzed. Ghotit offers novel patent-protected context spell checking technology tuned for people with dyslexia and bad spelling. Using these algorithms, Ghotit can detect and correct not only really bad spelled words but also misused words, words that are spelled correctly, but are written out of context. Ghotit also offers advanced grammar checking algorithms, ensuring that the corrected text is not only error-free, but also written with correct English grammar. Integrated text-to-speech and dictionary services are offered, to accelerate the writing process of a dyslexic.

Though initially designed for people with dyslexia, Ghotit has demonstrated success for people with other writing and reading difficulties such as people who use English as their Second Language (ESL) and English Language Learners (ELL) enabling them to move to mainstream English Writing.

Ghotit solution is available as an add-on to Microsoft Word 2003, 2007 and 2010 and as a text editor for Apple Macintosh. Ghotit solutions have been adopted worldwide by many people with dyslexia and other writing challenges.

Today Ghotit has announced the release of a site license. This site license will enable schools and organizations to access all of Ghotit solutions at highly reduced rates.
