General

How is Ginger Software different from other spell checkers?

Ginger is an intelligent spell checker. Ginger recognizes words and their context and provides corrections for spelling and grammar mistakes according to the intended meaning of the sentence. Ginger can tell when a correctly spelled word is misused and replaces it with the most appropriate word – both semantically and grammatically.
