Google Chrome has a speech recognition tool to write emails and documents. More info.

Another famous dyslexic a Norwegian politician Erna Solberg, was diagnosed with dyslexia at age 16.

What is it and why it could work?

“Bite sized nuggets of content that are easy to consume, sometimes they're images or image-based, whose meaning can be grasped quickly. It's faster than reading.

Google can help you when you don't know the exact spelling of a word.

For example you are looking for the word "melanoma", but you don't know the exact spelling. Something with a 'm', an 'e' and 'a' that's all you know.

You know it has something to do with cancer and you can spell the word cancer.

So in the search box of Google you type the word "cancer".

Google gives suggestion in a drop down box, in the list you will recognize the word "melanoma".

Hurd just something on which (I think) a lot of dyslexics while agree on in the "BBC Click" program.

The phrase "he does not use capital letters to define his punctuation. So get over it. Life is too short to worry about these things." Very good said why bother white an "i"or an "I" while in the meanwhile so much is happing in the world.

Sherrilyn Kenyon on being a writer and dyslexic

The Warrior by Kinely MacGregor

Book Description

Lochlan MacAllister was born to lead. Ruthlessly groomed to take control of his clan, he has given his life to his people. But when he learns that the brother he thought was dead might still be alive, he embarks on a quest to find the truth.

"The dyslexia is a bummer,” Kinley MacGregor (real name – Sherrilyn Kenyon) says, “as my copy-editors will tell you. My condition is so severe that is often manifests itself verbally.”

However, despite her severe condition, MacGregor has become a New York Times best-selling author, gaining fans all over the world. Her latest book, The Warrior, is being praised as her best. Suspenseful and riveting, this novel would be a feat for any author, but is a special success for one with dyslexia.

I met Richard J. Schock yesterday via e-mail. He suggested putting Kurt Cobain on the list of famous people; because Kurt Cobain was a great example for him. So we decided to put his sorry "Why Kurt Cobain was a great help to him" on the website and hope this will be an inspiration to you too.
