GINGER SOFTWARE: $5.4 million to Ginger Software led by Horizons Venture and Harbor Pacific Capital, along with existing investors. Horizons' Frank Meehan will join the company's board. Ginger's flagship product, the Ginger Proofreader, corrects spelling and grammar mistake based on natural language processing technology that deciphers and recognizes context and semantics in any sentence. Hence the company's tagline: "Avoid embarrassing mistakes." (Sounds like something we could use from time to time.)
