1888PressRelease – Ghotit released its long awaited Real Writer & Reader for Microsoft Windows tablets. Ghotit Real Writer & Reader uses advanced writing and reading assistant technologies tailor-made for people with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other learning disabilities.
The Ghotit Real Writer & Reader boasts of the following advanced capabilities, all designed for the dyslexic community:
• Intelligent context-sensitive spell checker
• Advanced grammar checker
• A powerful word prediction tool
• A built-in proofreader
• A reader that can read out any document or web page.
In this release, Ghotit Real Writer & Reader will support any text application, running Windows 8. This includes Microsoft desktop, laptops and tablets. This version has been adapted and optimized for applications using standard touch screen user interfaces.
Ofer Chermesh, one of Ghotit’s founders, is a lifelong dyslexic. The struggle of producing readable text is well known to him. “The tablet revolution has affected the way people consume information and communicate. More and more people are adopting tablets as the preferable means to communicate with each other. This is influencing the writing assistant tools developed for dyslexics. With this release, people with dyslexia will be able to run the Ghotit spell checker using standard touch screen practices.”
Regular text editors and spell checkers are designed to correct relatively minor spelling mistakes. In order to identify the correct spelling of a poorly spelled word, the context of the sentence needs to be analyzed. Ghotit offers a novel patent-protected context spell checking technology, tuned for people with dyslexia and bad spelling habits. 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.
Ghotit launched its online free service in 2008. In 2009 Ghotit released Word Writer, its addin for Microsoft Word for Windows. In 2012 Ghotit released its simple-to-use text editor, Real Writer for Windows and Macintosh. Today Ghotit released its Real Writer & Reader application for Microsoft Windows tablets. The Ghotit Real Writer & Reader application is based on a simple text editor which incorporates Ghotit, spell, and grammar checker and incorporates the ability to read out any text. Real Writer & Reader can be used directly from any text application such as browsers, word processors, spreadsheets, and mail applications.
“For years people with dyslexia were forced to buy a number of expensive assistive technology tools in order to help them write freely. These tools seldom managed to work smoothly together. Ghotit Real Writer & Reader offers an integrated solution, with Ghotit Reader seamlessly complementing Ghotit Writer” says Ofer Chermesh.
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 Real Writer & Reader was designed for people with dyslexia, by people who understand what it is to be dyslexic simply because they themselves are dyslexic and cope with identical problems.
