Ginger is a contextual spelling and grammar checker which automatically suggests corrections for even the most phonetically spelled sentences! It works with sentences written in Microsoft Word and in emails constructed within Microsoft Outlook.
“Ginger Software is an innovative and easy to use assistive technology for students with writing disabilities. I would highly recommend to add Ginger to your A.T. toolkit.” B. Friedlander, Ph.D., NJ, USA
Ginger is simple to master. Students will be able to learn how to use it in less than one minute!
Ginger was developed with the goals of helping people with dyslexia. A team of natural language-processing experts, statisticians, language specialists, software engineers, and educators developed a text-correction algorithm that automatically analyses the context of errors in written English, and selects the most appropriate semantic and grammatical correction. Ginger can recognise the intended meaning of extremely misspelled words and correct the spelling. As a result, it converts poor writing into comprehensible English. Ginger is a breakthrough writing solution that enables people with learning difficulties to produce error-free texts. Ginger’s patent pending technology has been tested on texts written by people with dyslexia, and its accuracy in correcting their errors far surpasses all other tools available today.
How does Ginger differ from standard spell-checkers?
Ginger recognises words in context and provides the most appropriate corrections for spelling and grammar mistakes according to the intended meaning of the sentence. In addition, Ginger corrects an entire sentence in one click, versus one word at a time.
What is context-based correction?
Standard spell checkers offer the same alternatives for a misspelled word regardless of its context. Ginger takes the context of words into account and offers corrections that are true to the writer’s intent, even in cases of severe selling mistakes.
How does Ginger help people with learning difficulties?
Ginger takes the frustration out of the writing experience by identifying and correcting unusual spelling mistakes commonly made by people with learning disabilities, which standard spell checkers often miss. Ginger Premium also offers text-to-speech capability.

If you or a loved one has dyslexia, you know how difficult and frustrating it can be to write a letter or essay without any errors. Ginger gives you the help you need to improve the quality of work at school or on the job.
Ginger has been tested on texts written by people with dyslexia, and its accuracy in correcting their errors far surpasses all other tools available today. Ginger is the best writing solution available for people with dyslexia. They will no longer need human proofreaders to check their texts. Ginger can do it for them!
Ginger was originally developed to meet the needs of people with dyslexia, who are unable to tell whether a word they have just written is actually correct or not. Spell checkers are unable to correct the kind of mistakes made by people with dyslexia. But Ginger can do it! It even corrects words that are spelled correctly but misused.
Ginger for Schools
The rise of online media – messaging, texting, tweeting, blogging – has produced a new generation of students who are writing much more, and in more diverse ways, than their predecessors. Although this “new writing” has a certain legitimacy, most believe the text-speak trend has instilled bad writing habits and caused deterioration in the quality of written English. All agree that well-written English will never go out of style.
You can empower your students with Ginger software, a contextual spell checker and grammar checker that will help them improve their writing skills. Ginger is an intelligent writing tool that recognises spelling mistakes, even the most severe ones, and corrects them according to the context of the sentence. Ginger also corrects grammar errors and words that are spelled correctly but misused.
In addition to native English-speakers, your school most likely has students who speak English as a second language (ESL), or who have learning difficulties such as dyslexia. Such students have particular needs when it comes to composing texts and writing papers. Ginger is the best assistance you can give them.
With Ginger at work in your school, your students’ writing skills will improve and their grades will go up.
Ginger’s spell checker and frequent-error reporting function gives teachers and professionals the ability to monitor and evaluate students’ progress, and to provide learning assistance where it is needed most.
Each student can be assigned a unique Ginger ID. Detailed reports can be generated for individuals, classes, schools, or an entire school district, allowing administrators to assess and compare achievements at various levels.
As a teacher or school administrator, one of your missions is to give students a solid foundation of writing skills. Their academic success, today and in the future, depends on it.
Ginger’s spell checker and frequent-error reporting function provides feedback for educators and special-needs teachers. The Ginger reports allow the Learning Difficulties professionals to track and analyse the student’s progress, to modify learning assistance when necessary, and to compare and evaluate different methods of instruction.
