I am a 42-year old dyslexic, who has struggled throughout his career with TERRIBLE SPELLING. I am sorry to say that at least from my experience, workplaces have no real sympathy for dyslexics...
For a long time I understood what would assist me in my work environment. It took 10 years or so but finally with help from my friends we developed a writing assistant tool developed by dyslexics for dyslexics.
It includes:
- Identification of really poorly spelled words
- Context spell checking for (correctly spelled) out of context words
- Integrated Talk To Speech
- Integrated Dictionary

We just released a Microsoft Word plugin...
You can try it at: www.ghotit.com
