:blobcataww:<p>RT appreciated because this is a major life quality issue: the lack of spell checkers for Samsung tablet. </p><p>I use a Samsung Galaxy S9+ Tab (I strongly recommend against ever getting a Samsung device, for many reasons. Happy to elaborate further). This specific one doesn't have inbuilt spellchecker, confirmed with the Samsung support who fluffed around for ages before admitting only some models have it, you can't know unless if you bought this specific tablet, then blamed me for not doing research. </p><p>Firefox has completely disabled all Android spellcheckers, both inbuilt and extension. </p><p>I think what's happening now, is we are being forced to use the online ones that comes with monthly subscription that also sells your work to LLM training models. </p><p>I'm not a native English speaker. I'm also dyslexic. </p><p>Anyone found any ways around this? While I'd like to never use Microsoft Office Suit, at this point it seems like Microsoft is the least evil out of all the major players. </p><p>Anyone found a way of bypassing this? (Do not ask me to google it, google has fallen as a search engine for at least five years now, it's all SEO based irrelevant spam regardless of what your search term is). </p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Spelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spelling</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/NESB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NESB</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Dyslexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dyslexia</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Spellcheck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spellcheck</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Spell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spell</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Check" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Check</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/spellchecker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spellchecker</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/checker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>checker</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Samsung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Samsung</span></a></p>

SecondUniverse<p>I ask periodically but haven't found an answer yet. My partner has dyslexia, and I definitely don't have that (I can easily help her spell any word she asks), but I when typing I transpose S/2/5, 1/L and of course 0/O. I also substitute words like suitcase/briefcase. I also reverse the order of letters. When reading, numbers in particular, the digits seem to shift around, and if a digit is repeated I struggle to count how many times it is repeated. Is there a name for this? <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/actuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/dyslexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dyslexia</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/brain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brain</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscience</span></a></p>

Dr Dionysios Kyropoulos<p>On Tuesday I had the privilege of speaking at Oxford’s EDI Roundtable on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodiversity</span></a>. It’s inspiring to see the university breaking down barriers so neurodivergent students and staff feel they belong and thrive. More than 140 attendees joined thought-provoking discussions on policy, experience and inclusion. Fantastic to see this momentum continue! Huge thanks to all involved.
