Even Yehuda, Israel, December 17, 2013 - As such, these schools and organizations need to supplytheir students and employees assistive technology that can help them overcome their disabilities. Dyslexia is the most prevalent of all known learning disabilities. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), approximately 5-15 percent of the population suffers from severe reading, and writing difficulties associated with dyslexia. Dyslexics spend significant time, effortand money to improve their written communication skills. One of the main challenges for people with dyslexia is managing their daily tasks that require writing. For examples students that need to write homework assignments and reports or employees that constantly need to respond to emails. Dyslexics are challenges by both the qualityof their written text (producing correctly spelled text) and by the time and effort required by themto produce this text. Ofer Chermesh, one of Ghotit's founders, is a lifelong dyslexic. The struggle of producing readabletext is well known to him. "I have no doubt that the people who designed regular assistancetechnology tools such as text editors and spell checkers did not have in mind people with dyslexia.Regular spell checkers are targeting people with good spelling capabilities who occasionally makespelling mistakes, not dyslexics like me. In addition, many dyslexics also struggle with readingdocuments or web sites and would like to see these reading abilities integrated with their writingassistant solutions," says Ofer Chermesh. 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 needsto be analyzed.
