Spell checker designed for dyslexic usersKeySpell is a powerful spelling-checker which works as a standalone product, with speech recognition programs, and alongside Microsoft® Word™. It provides invaluable aid for early learners and those with literacy difficulties, helping them to understand how words are spelt, how they sound and the context in which they should be used. The unique system is even able to handle the complex problems caused by dyslexia. Words like ‘elephant’ for example, can still be found when misspelt with a consonant (‘lefamt’). With its direct link to Microsoft Word, KeySpell can be evoked as soon as the program ceases to be of assistance - which many people find to be surprisingly often. The easy-to-use, friendly, interface of KeySpell, allied to its detailed tutorial and comprehensive on-screen help, allow the user to ensure accuracy of correction through the use of a number of features: KeySpell's 250,000 word dictionary can be partitioned, using 32 categories, to suit the needs of the user either by age group or area of interest (Arts, Sciences, Sports, Business etc.). It also has a huge lexicon of British place names and personal names. In Microsoft Word, a document can also be scanned for sound-alikes, enabling the user to check each occurrence quickly and efficiently. KeySpell offers a selection of phonetically similar words and confusable terms and an example of those words in context to assist in the selection of the correct word. Searches can also be conducted based on the beginning or the end of the word according to the preference of the user. KeySpell incorporates voice synthesis technology from ScanSoft® to provide a text-to-speech capability - allowing selected text to be read out as it appears on the screen. KeySpell also helps with the pronunciation of words with phoneme-by-phoneme guides and allows the steps taken to correct a word to be retraced.
