The company’s algorithms utilize machine learning models that incorporate more than one trillion words in an effort to offer proofreading and corrections that work in context and allow users to send better, less embarrassing texts and higher quality writing. Up until now, Ginger has been primarily focused on providing proofreading tools for Microsoft Office and browsers, and the founder says that Ginger currently checks more than 20 million sentences across platforms each day. Based on its advanced natural language parsing platform, Ginger’s Keyboard works to both correct grammar errors and misused words, but also adapt to the user’s own way of speaking, the proper names he or she uses and, over time, even slang. The idea, Ginger founder and CEO Yael Karov says, is not just to be another name in the text-correction software space, but to be able to provide better contextual understanding of natural language. However, Ginger’s new app is meant to your cross-app proofreading tool, as it integrates with any and all Android apps you have installed on your phone, whether it be SMS, email, Twitter or Facebook. While there are plenty of proofreading and grammar apps to be found in Google Play, most of them are educational apps, grammar exercises and dictionaries.
This week, the Israeli makers of natural language technology designed to help native and ESL speakers better express themselves, released its latest free mobile app for Android, called the “Ginger Keyboard.” Simply put, the Keyboard is a straightforward, easy-to-use proofreading app that allows users to correct full texts with one click. Ginger Software is on a mission to become the go-to spell-checking tool for Android.
