Ghotit Dyslexia Software Demonstrates 25
Improvement in 2013
1888 Press Release - During 2013 Ghotit has
developed and implemented several new ground
breaking algorithms that resulted in dramatic
correction rates improvements. Analysis performed
on the data demonstrated a 25 improvement in
text correction rate. Ghotit offers a writing
assistive technology for dyslexics. Text
correction rates are defined as the correct
spelling or grammar correction suggestion
compared to the overall spelling or grammar
mistakes written by the user. The algorithm
improvements focused on the following
areas Optimized spelling correction algorithms
for misused words. Misused words are actual words
that are written out of context of the text being
written. Ghotit algorithms use context based word
analysis to determine if a written word is in or
out of context of the written sentence.
Optimized punctuation algorithms. The
optimized algorithms correctly identify "fused"
or running sentences and also alerts when a comma
is misplaced in a sentence. Word prediction
with newly added grammar awareness. Ghotit's word
prediction now also takes in to account grammar
awareness, making sure the suggested word fits in
the sentences not only contextually but also from
a grammatical perspective.
Dr. Robert Iakobashvili Ghotit's CTO and
co-founder explains "During 2013, Ghotit
developed technologies and algorithms originating
from various disciplines including Natural
Language Processing (NLP) and non-NLP
disciplines. Based on a novel approach that
applies hidden Markov models, Ghotit was able to
make the NLP and non-NLP algorithms work
together. The result of these efforts is an
increase of 25 of Ghotit's correction rate."

Mr. Ofer Chermesh Ghotit's CEO and co-founder
adds "These detection optimizations have been
introduced in all of Ghotit's Real Writer and
Reader products, including the Windows
Macintosh desktop versions, and the Windows
tablet version. These enhanced algorithms further
position Ghotit as the number one writing and
reading assistant solution for people with
dyslexia, dysgraphia and other learning
disabilities." Ghotit first launched its only
free online web service in 2009. Since then,
Ghotit has released multiple products targeting
Windows and Macintosh desktop and laptop users,
and recently has entered the tablet world with a
solution for Windows tablet. Ghotit writing
assistant solution has been adopted over the
years by tens of thousands of dyslexic users and
many schools, universities and training centers
worldwide. 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. For additional
