AutoCorrect
Boost Employee Productivity: The Ultimate Writing Companion for Work
AutoCorrect is a powerful new feature in Read&Write that not only improves individual employees' writing confidence but also enhances overall business productivity. It saves time, reduces interruptions, and helps employees focus on their tasks, resulting in better output and increased efficiency.
Read&Write AutoCorrect helps you to:
Save time and reduce interruptions
AutoCorrect automatically corrects spellings as employees type, eliminating the need for manual corrections and saving valuable time.
It works seamlessly in the background, reducing interruptions from red underlines and allowing employees to focus on their work without distractions.
Enhance writing quality
By fixing the most common errors, AutoCorrect helps improve the overall quality of written communication, ensuring that employees convey their ideas clearly and professionally.
It simplifies language and helps employees use the right words to express their thoughts effectively.
Support employees with writing challenges
AutoCorrect is a valuable tool for employees who struggle with everyday literacy tasks, dyslexia, or English as a Second Language (ESL).
It provides real-time autocorrections and helps employees overcome writing challenges, allowing them to focus on the content of their ideas rather than worrying about spelling.
Learn from mistakes and improve writing skills
AutoCorrect tracks and prints the most common mistakes, providing employees with valuable feedback on their writing.
This allows employees to learn from their errors and improve their writing skills over time, leading to better performance and increased confidence.
How does Read&Write AutoCorrect work?
AutoCorrect makes intelligent autocorrections in real time while employees type. This makes it especially beneficial for fast typers and those who need additional writing support. When combined with the other tools in the Read&Write toolbar, such as grammar and sentence structure checking, employees have a comprehensive solution for error-free writing. With AutoCorrect, employees can focus on the task at hand, stay ahead of the game, and produce high-quality output that reflects positively on the business.
Who can access this feature?
Read&Write's AutoCorrect is being offered as an addition to our customers with an ‘Enterprise’ package. That means, our customer organizations that provide Read&Write for Work to all employees.
By making Read&Write available to all employees, these customers are rest assured that 100% of their neurodivergent employees, multi-lingual teams and anyone who might struggle with everyday literacy tasks have access to the tools that they need to do their job effectively. They can support their staff without asking them to self-identify - which, according to research, 76% of people with a disability or neurodiverse condition don’t feel comfortable doing
Are you ready to find out more about Read&Write AutoCorrect?
None of us know what extra load or mental stress our employees are carrying with them
Read&Write’s AutoCorrect can help in the following areas:
Lack of self-confidence, self-esteem and negative self-talk
Red underlines and errors need extra resilience and can feed into negative self-talk. By removing them, the experience of writing is more positive.
Difficulty concentrating or easily distracted
AutoCorrect reduces the distractions of errors and red underlines, so the user can focus without interruptions.
Difficulty thinking and writing clearly
AutoCorrect frees up working memory to focus on the content and direction of their work.
Racing thoughts
These can create additional spelling and typing errors and increase stress. AutoCorrect helps reduce stress and automatically corrects spelling without the red underlines.
Making decisions
Manual spell checking requires lots of small decisions, which AutoCorrect reduces.
Side effects of medication
Medication can make simple things (like recalling everyday spellings) difficult. AutoCorrect removes that problem, and corrects them automatically in the background.
