Ghotit is a leading dyslexia writing solutions company. When we launched our first product release in 2007, we focused solely in deciphering dyslexic text and offering correct spelling suggestions. However, four years later, I can tell you that Ghotit is heavily invested in complementing its spell correction algorithms with grammar correction algorithms.

In the past 4 years Ghotit has been overwhelmed with requests to complement the Ghotit solution with grammar correction capabilities. In many cases dyslexics suffer not only from bad spelling, but also from problematic grammar and punctuation. Grammar problems in writing may result from dyslexics focusing so much on getting their spelling correct, that they tend to overlook their grammar.

Today, Ghotit offers a single context-based text-analysis engine to perform both spelling and grammar correction. The corrected spelling mistakes are leveraged to assist in grammar corrections and vice versa.

The following are 2 sentences written by a person with dyslexia that combine both spelling and grammar mistakes:

Example #1:

Dyslexic text: “Win it come to fashion she dos not cere if she ends up on the werst dress list.”

Text corrected by Ghotit: “When it comes to fashion she does not care if she ends up on the worst dress list”

As you can see, the dyslexic writer not only wrote misspelled words, but also made a grammar mistakes (he wrote “come” instead of “comes”) that Ghotit identified and corrected.

Example #2:

Dyslexic text: “If he choose corecly, the user receive the following opshen”

Text corrected by Ghotit: “If he chooses correctly, the user receives the following option.”

Here too, the dyslexic writer not only misspelled words, but also made 2 grammar mistakes  (he wrote “choose” instead of “chooses” ; and “receive” instead of “receives”)
