A former writer, this man is embarrassed and devastated to discover that since the accident he can no longer spell even simple words. His wife asked me to locate spelling software that would start with the very basics but "without lots of duckies" or children's graphics prevalent in basic spelling programs (she felt strongly that her husband would be too humiliated to work with a kid's program). I took a look at several spelling programs aimed at adults but found that they were geared more toward adults with common spelling problems but not at adults who need to start with "C-A-T". Apparently, my friend can still read and comprehend at something approaching his former level, although he did suffer additional trauma to one eye, so reading is tedious. I wonder if you might know of one or several software packages that would be appropriate. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Karen Cantor
