- New WhiteSmoke Google Gadget Corrects Spelling and Grammar Mistakes and Enriches Your "Googlish" Text
WhiteSmoke announces the immediate availability of its new WhiteSmoke Google Gadget at http://www.google.com/ig/directory?q=whitesmoke
Joining numerous other applications and services already available as Google gadgets, the WhiteSmoke Google Gadget brings award-winning English grammar checking, spell checking, and text enrichment to users of a range of Google services, such as iGoogle and Google Page Creator. Blogger, Google's giant blog network, currently supports Google gadgets in its "draft" mode.
The free and user-friendly WhiteSmoke Google Gadget is based on the recently launched WhiteSmoke 2008 desktop application. Gadget users can either copy-paste or type in a text and have it analyzed using the full power of the WhiteSmoke grammar engine. Spelling mistakes are marked in red, grammar and punctuation mistakes in green, and text enrichment suggestions in blue. WhiteSmoke's text enrichment feature includes suggestions for synonyms and contextually-based additions of adjectives and adverbs. After users correct their text, they can copy-paste it to whatever application they need.
Hilla Ovil Brenner, WhiteSmoke CEO, elaborates: "English is used all over the world to connect people who speak and write English, either as their mother tongue or as a second language. With this global spread of English usage, many fear that language standards are dropping, even among native speakers. Everybody can benefit from the new WhiteSmoke Google Gadget, from teenagers using instant messaging through to business people, who according to our research, still send 60% of their emails with language mistakes. Furthermore, with Google services being among the most widely used on the Internet, the WhiteSmoke Google Gadget is a powerful tool that can assist hundreds of millions of Google users across the planet in improving their written English skills."
"WhiteSmoke provides a groundbreaking solution for English text correction and enrichment, and with Google as a platform it can reach ever growing audiences who need professional results when they write. iGoogle is a highly user-friendly work environment concentrating all of the users' online needs on one web page. Offering WhiteSmoke technology to iGoogle users increases the value of the iGoogle experience," explains Amit Greener, WhiteSmoke Vice President of Marketing. He adds: "While licensed users of the full WhiteSmoke 2008 desktop application enjoy additional features, such as writing templates, the dictionary-thesaurus, and specialized text enrichment for various professional fields, the WhiteSmoke Google Gadget still brings the full extent of WhiteSmoke's grammar and text enrichment to the Google online universe, allowing users to easily communicate in correct and improved English."
The WhiteSmoke Google Gadget is available for your iGoogle homepage now. You can use this link to add it:
