Ghotit
Writing and reading assistant built for dyslexia and dysgraphia.
About
Ghotit Real Writer & Reader is a writing assistant tuned specifically for dyslexic and dysgraphic writers: its patented phonetic and context-aware algorithms catch severe spelling errors and misused words that regular spell checkers miss, alongside grammar checking, word prediction, text-to-speech reading with dual highlighting, and a screenshot reader.
It runs locally on Windows and Mac with full offline capability, which is a genuine privacy advantage for schools. Pricing is on the steep side — roughly $199–$230 for a single-user license depending on edition and vendor — and the interface feels dated compared with modern writing tools.
