Download/HomepageThis functional little programme checks your
spelling, in any document you are working on such
as a plain text, a mail,or a page of HTML. Launch it,and leave it
minimised as you work on your
text. Then right click on the SpellCheck icon, and tell it to
check the document in the current
window. And it does. It suggests words to replace misspellings,
and it allows you to add to the
custom dictionary, so that eventually you will build up a
spellchecker that has a full
dictionary for your kind of work, even with a technical
vocabulary. Once the spell check is
done, it quietly puts itself away again on the task bar, and you
can carry on typing.
It has other features which allow it to "grab" a
message in AOL, CompuServe and Eudora, plus a
lot of other packages. I found no need to use these features, a
simple right click was quick,
easy and took seconds to do. It is American, so like all
Americans it cannot spell some words,
the "add to custom dictionary" function took care of
that problem. It also offers to add your
custom dictionary from MS Word, if you have one. It was
regrettably unable to do that for me, I
got a file not found message. To be fair to SpellCheck, I use
Office 97 and the custom
dictionary is in a different location from previous Word
versions, however it would have been
nice if the user was given an opportunity to point the programme
at the right folder.
It politely reminds you it is a shareware programme every now and
then , and offers to provide
full registration information if you wish. It is fully
functional.
