Using spelling and grammar checkers on Ginger Pages.

Here, I have typed the sentence

“what are you going to learn?” with

several misspellings.

You will see that the mistakes have

been highlighted in blue. This

happens automatically.

The corresponding suggestions

appear at the top of the keyboard.

Simply click on these to change

the words.

You will also notice that it has not

corrected the word ‘learn’. It will

pick this up in context once you

have corrected the rest of the

sentence. (see on next page)

As you can see, now that the app

recognises the sentence, it has

changed it’s suggestion to ‘learn’.

You can now click on this and

complete the sentence.

The app also gives the option to

suggest sentence structures.

Click on the icon in the top left

hand corner of the menu bar.

It will highlight the sentence and

then give you several options

down the bottom of the screen.

Choose a sentence and click on it

to insert it.

Then click ‘Done’.

If you don’t want to choose any of

them, just click on ‘done’.

press this, the app will

To launch the main menu, click on

the icon.

You will see the menu pictured.

There are quite a few different

areas to explore but you most

likely wont need to access this

The most handy sections would be

‘quick tour’, ‘tutorials’ and

‘settings’.

You may wish to explore the other

sections and see if any of them

would be helpful.
