Global Autocorrect automatically corrects your spelling as you type in any program which means you can focus on what you’re writing, rather than correcting spelling mistakes. Global Autocorrect is useful for any form of writing; on the web, emails, assignments, essays or presentations. It also works in conjunction with any program – Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, just to name a few.

It is very simple to use so you won’t waste any time trying to learn a new program.
One advantage of using Global Autocorrect is the fact that it supports academic terminology, meaning that it knows exactly what you’re writing. It supports specialist subjects such as maths, science, law and media studies.
The software runs in the background whilst you’re working, discreetly correcting your spellings as you type, meaning that you can focus on your work, rather than correcting spelling mistakes. You can spend more time writing, rather than focusing on correcting spelling errors.
If Global Autocorrect isn’t sure what you’re trying to spell, you can pick the word you meant and it will automatically be corrected in the future.

You can also print a copy of your spelling errors so that you can work on them in your own time should you wish to do so.
It can make proofreading work a lot quicker and easier as your spelling mistakes have already been corrected for you beforehand.

If you are a York St John University student and you would like to find out how to use Global Autocorrect for yourself, you can book a one-to-one training session with an Assistive Technology Advisor. Sessions can be booked at the Student Information Desk in Holgate. Visit our Training page for more information.
