Writing and grammar

2. • Provide writing prompts and editing suggestions

   • Help with sentence structure and grammar

Example Prompt: “Could you please check my sentence structure in the following text to make sure it makes sense please? [insert text]”

Proofreading and spellchecking

   • Provide examples of properly spelled words and grammatically correct sentences, helping to reinforce good habits and develop writing skills.

Understanding and remembering rules of punctuation and capitalisation

4. • Provide explanations of punctuation and capitalisation rules and offer examples of correct usage.

   • Provide automatic correction of punctuation and capitalisation errors in written content.

Example Prompt: “I'm struggling with when to use a comma and when to use a semicolon. Can you explain the difference and give me some examples?”

Handwriting and fine motor skills

1. • Generate text-based responses to written prompts or questions, eliminating the need for handwriting altogether.

   • Transcribe spoken language, which can be especially helpful for people with dysgraphia who struggle with writing by hand.

Example Prompt: “Can you use the following transcript from my recent lecture on [insert subject] to create a series of notes summarising the lectures key points please?”
