This is a text assistant designed to aid children with dyslexia in writing stories and other texts. The goal is to enhance their writing and reading abilities without requiring intervention from a teacher or parent, except for reading their completed texts. This is made possible thanks to ChatGPT's excellent capability to correct words and sentence structures in incorrect texts.
Key Features of this assistant:
Corrects text within its dedicated view to avoid disrupting the writer's flow.
Highlights corrections in both the original and corrected text for easy problem identification.
Highlights the entire word instead of individual characters to promote problem-solving and careful reading of words.
It only corrects whole sentences to encourage the completion of sentences before checking for faults, so as not to interrupt the flow of writing.
Corrects each sentence asynchronously, rather than processing the entire text at once, to provide a faster and more responsive user experience.
Disables the ability to mark the corrected text to prevent "cheating".
Open VSCode settings and search for "Dyslexia Text Assistant".
Insert your API key into this field and close the settings window.
Click "View -> Command Palette", search for "Text Assistant", and select the command.
A new editor to the right side of your current editor should now open, and it will automatically correct any text in your currently active/focused editor as you begin writing.
