Review
Spell Checker (also known as Spell Checker Anywhere) is an excellent spelling corrector. This application does not simply detect a spelling mistake by underlining it, but it also offers plenty of information about it in a pop-up window. We can view the misspelled word, the suggested replacement, and the list of words that are similar to the misspelled word. We can opt to replace the word, ignore the suggestion, and also, if we are not sure about it, we can go directly to the built-in dictionary or Thesaurus, and look up that word. This application can check the spelling in texts in many languages (Spanish, French, German, Italian, Canadian, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish, etc. ). In addition, there is a medical and a legal dictionary, both with an American and British versions. The best about this program is that it works with any Windows application. I have tested it in Mozilla Firefox and Opera, and I found that the spell checker runs there as well without any problems. There are several settings menus: to change the active dictionary, set shortcut keys, set the program to show all the Windows applications, and so on. We can view the history of our misspelled words, add common words, open the Hypernotepad and write in there, or check/import/export/print texts. Another useful feature makes it possible to add keywords and their full text/sentence/word correspondence, so that we can save time by just typing the keyword instead of the full text. There is a quick help available and also a good tutorial video. This program can be evaluated for free for 7 days. |
