  • (1888PressRelease) August 17, 2010 - Ghotit, a leading provider of text correction technology has initiated a "back-to-school" campaign. Ghotit is offering its spelling and grammar checker free to all educational institutes worldwide. Ghotit is offering an unlimited license to all schools, colleges, universities and learning disability centers.

    Ghotit's founder, Ofer Chermesh, a lifelong dyslexic, founded Ghotit after searching for years for an ideal writing assistant solution. "I remember my school years as most challenging. In school you need to write constantly. It is very frustrating to find out, especially as a low-budget student, that a certain solution that cost several hundred dollars is not delivering on its promise" says Ofer.

    In order to help students and parents of students with learning disabilities, Ghotit has decided to offer its solution free to all students. Ghotit is currently being installed at tens of schools, all preparing for the coming up school year. The positive inputs and praises on this initiative has led Ghotit to initiate a "back-to-school" campaign, trying to get out the word of the free solution to many schools prior to the start of next school year or semester. Advanced writing assistive solutions are sold to schools for thousands of dollars. Ghotit is giving this value to schools for free. This is a significant benefit in today's low-budget economy.

    Many schools offer learning disability centers, where they install a variety of solutions assisting students with learning disabilities. However, since these solutions are expensive, and their value not guaranteed, the number of stations with assistive technology is usually quite limited. In recent years, the student body has become much more connected and mobile. A high percentage of students bring to campus their own personal laptops. "It no longer makes sense to require a student with a learning disability to go work in a lab station. It makes much more sense to simply install the free license on the laptop of the student" says Ofer. Ghotit's unlimited license allows installing the software on any computer located within the school's campus. This includes learning disability center computers, lab computers or any desktop or laptop used by a student in the school grounds.

    Ghotit's writing assistive solution has demonstrated unmatched abilities when used by people with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADD and ADHD. In addition, people who have adopted English as a Second Language but who suffer from severe challenges with English spelling significantly improve their English writing using Ghotit. Ghotit leverages its innovative Intelligent Context Correction (ICC) patent pending technology to correct heavily misspelled words, misused words and grammar errors based on the context of the sentence. Ghotit is offered as a Microsoft add-in, and includes context-based corrections, integrated Text-to-Speech, Dictionary and Search services.

    "It is very simple to register for Ghotit's back-to-school campaign. Simply go to http://www.ghotit.com/back-to-school-dyslexia.shtml and fill out a form" explains Ofer. "There is no reason why you should not try Ghotit out. It is completely free".
