Ginger Machine Translation



 
A.          What is Ginger?
         Ginger Page is a new writing tool that wants to make sure that spelling and grammar are accurate at home and on then go. The app translates other languages, offers contextual corrections, and more.
 
        Ginger Software is a translation machine that uses patented software algorithms that deal with natural language processing. The company claims that the algorithm allows it to correct the written sentences with relatively high accuracy (eliminating up to 95 percent of writing errors), compared to standard spell checkers. Its unique algorithm allows the software to understand the context of the sentence rather than correcting based solely on a word.

B.          The Benefits of Ginger
         Ginger Page is both a translator and a grammar checker. It will take what is written and help to spruce it up so it's easier to read. It'll correct spelling, offer synonyms and alternate words in context with what it is written, and define words for the users. In Android, the tool can also be used as a keyboard replacement that will correct spelling and grammar in any app—so people know the comments on Facebook, Gmail messages, and text messages are all well written and easy to read. An iOS version of the keyboard is on the way soon, now that Apple is opening iOS to third-party keyboard developers.

        Ginger Page can be used as a writing app in iOS, Android, or in Windows, so if you're trying to translate text in one language to another, or you just want a second set of eyes on your grammar, Ginger Page gives you a tool that won't just correct your spelling, but will also offer alternate sentence structures or word choices for clearer reading.

       You learn the topics that are most relevant to you, those that cause most of your writing mistakes. Frequently these are your most common spoken mistakes as well. You practice by correcting your own sentences, instead of textbook learning examples that are not necessarily relevant to your specific use of English. You learn faster because the learning program is personalized to meet your needs. No need to practice topics that you already know, or that are too advanced for you. You don’t need to invest hours taking English lessons. Whenever you write an email, an essay, or a status on Facebook, you can, in a single click, get corrections from Ginger, as well as explanations on how to avoid repeating those same mistakes in the future.

        It has a disadvantage that it slows down the speed of your PC to some extent, but when you stop it from working on the browser the speed is improved rest there is no problem with the free version of this software.
