"So I had real trouble when I was writing essays because I was always trying to think about the spelling and that really distracted me from helping my ideas to flow. So to help with that I developed a piece of software myself which automatically corrected my spelling as I typed so that my ideas could flow, but also showed me my top mistakes so that I could work on those separate from when I was writing."
The advantage of the program is that I could use it in any application and not just depend on Microsoft Word AutoCorrect so now I use it with Open Office and Mozilla Thunderbird when I am writing emails as well as TextHelp Read and Write Gold for reading back text.
