What tools do people use to get around dyslexia? I recently realised that most auto-correct and spelling correction tools breakdown for dyslexic people. The challenge for them is that they know how a word sounds but takes more time than usual to recollect the spelling. The recommendations suggested by standard spell checkers are way off the mark in those cases. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Spellcheck used to be a problem for me, but over time my muscle memory has improved and it has become easier to type words (ask me to spell a word and ill have no idea). Sometimes my spelling is so off spellcheck doesn't give me options, but putting it into google usually helps, googles guessing algorithm is better than most spellchecks it seems.
