Or names that have even more spelling
variants:
Catherine, Katherine, Cathrynne, Kathrynne,
Katharine, Catharine, Catharynne, Katharynne, etc. I think I've seen more for
that one than any other. I agree with Gene that figuring out how common words,
and especially proper nouns, such as names, are spelled when replying or
addressing someone in a professional environment. Someone writing captcha as
capture annoys me to no end.

It may seem reasonable but it should strenuously be
avoided. Such mistakes lower the credibility of the person writing.
If someone writes to a web site developer about captures when they mean
captchas, it will not be as credible to the web site developer when the person
doesn't get the name right about what is being complained about. In other
words, it doesn't matter how something sounds. No matter how an unfamiliar
word sounds, the spelling should not be assumed.
and it may be embarrassing. Suppose you are
writing to someone on a business matter and you spell the first name Steven with
a v when it's Stephen, with a ph instead of a v. That doesn't leave a good
impression.

I used to do this with CAPTCHA, though to be fair, you do have to
capture something to solve it—hidden words or numbers in an image or sound, the
true image if you have to drag/drop parts of a picture, etc. It's a perfectly
reasonable mistake to make. Good thing Espeak NG says it more clearly now, isn't
it? :)

CAPTCHA is another glaring example, It is chronically written
"capture."

Hi, is there a free trial for Jot? If so how long is it free
before you have to pay? Or, do you have to buy it in order to use
it?

accessible word processors with NVDA
The thing about Jarte is that to
open docx files it needs the purchased version as far as I know. OOpen and
Libra Office seem to be able to load in docx files, but as has been discussed
here of late, the authors need to do some more work to allow screenreaders to
work on all parts of them like read all etc.
Of course it might
be possible to find an old copy of an older version of Office pro corporate
which I did and it still worked aand accepted the key.
Legal? Well,
its a grey area isn't it. if the original buyer is giving it away, then who
cares.
