Hi Flor,

MegaDots has an auto correct feature as well as a spell checker feature usable 
in print or braille mode. 

I am a certified braille proof reader, so I am perhaps more picky than just 
looking for contraction errors even though I do this on a voluntary basis and 
do completely read material from cover to cover regardless of the subject 
matter. If you wish to check for contraction errors, there's a couple of ideas.
