Spell Checkers Do Not Detect Good Typists, eReflect Announces
New York City, NY (PRWEB) September 05, 2013 -- Ultimate Typing™ developer company eReflect revealed today that spell checkers do not help identify good typists. After receiving several questions from users about a recent review for Ultimate Spelling published by English-Language-Skills.Com, where readers were encouraged to turn off their automatic spell checkers,eReflect explained today that spell checkers can only identify misspellings, and therefore people should not entirely rely on them. If someone accidentally types “raw” instead of “row,” the spell checker won’t identify this as an error, and this might lead to awkward situations for the text creator. As the eReflect representative emphasized in the company's statement today, a combination of good spelling and better typing skills can save people from these embarrassing incidents. eReflect suggested that advanced typing accuracy is what can really make a person's writing impeccable. Even if someone does have great spelling skills, this won't show up in their documents unless their typing skills are also excellent, eReflect explained.
A typing program that helps improve typing accuracy and efficiency can improve a person's writing substantially, as eReflect suggested today. Knowing spelling is completely different from knowing touch typing and if someone cannot type efficiently their writing will suffer. The company pointed out that in its 2013 release of the software, specific exercises have been included to help people quickly learn to correctly type letter combinations that often cause spelling errors. These exercises directly address the problems caused by relying on spell checkers.
Spelling and touch typing skills go hand in hand; having one without the other is incomplete and ultimately can prove to be useless. When people strive to balance their typing and spelling skills they can then reap many benefits, especially in their professional careers. Polished writing that’s error-free makes people look professional and competent and allows them to communicate their ideas and solutions much more eloquently. eReflect encourages people to not solely rely on spell-checkers when proofreading their writing, as certain misspellings are not typographical but grammatical. A focused proofreading will save them from awkward situations caused by typos.
Moreover, eReflect urged people wishing to entirely avoid typos to practice with a typing program. eReflect elaborated on this, saying that many typing programs, including Ultimate Typing™, offer balanced typing training that targets both typing speed and accuracy, thus helping to ensure error-free writing. Exclusively relying on spell checkers is not a foolproof method for avoiding errors, and people need to make sure their typing is not harming their writing efficiency, eReflect concluded.
