Ladies and Gentlemen,

The novel writing assistance to adults and kids with dyslexia is at
www.ghotit.com as a free access on-line speller, which is:

- context-aware and context correcting;
- phonetic;
- copes with large editing distances;
- iterative;
- provides description sentences for spelling candidates;
- text-to-speech for our web-site is available for Internet Explorer, better
IE-7.

Testing at the corpus of the texts written by the people with dyslexia,
we get above 90% of correction success, where the most popular editors are
well below 40%.

Prior to using it better to look at the HOW-TO-USE:

Grammar and punctuation corrections will be added on later.
