Google/Spellcheck?

Spatha · 08-November-07, 11:56 AM

I've been getting some complaints about my spell from fellow forms PcApex member, I'm dyslexic sorry and the spell check on the forms isn't very good at all (sorry PcApex it just isn't) Well I type alot of stuff in MS Word if its really long, but allot of times it cant find the word I'm looking for. So I turn to google, and I swear it get it right the first time every time.

Question is, is their a google power internet browser spell check for IE or Opera?

Google Toolbar has a built in spellchecker, which works when posting

Its just like MS Word, a little red line comes under a misspelled word, which you simply right-click and change to the correct spelling.

Google Toolbar for Firefox

EDIT: Sorry, didnt see the IE or Opera bit...

I found this:

Spell-checking With Opera

Seems to be exactly what you need.

Ya I tried that it directed me to an FTP server that has a bunch of files in it. I tride them but nothing lead me to an install file.

Dex: I would easely use Firefox but I hate the download manager with a passion, I absolutely love opera's.

Works for me. Go to the link - http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/w32/As...-3-3-Setup.exe

Set it up.

Download and install the English dictionary.

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/w32/As...n-0.50-2-3.exe

Restart Opera. Now in any edit field, right click and 'Check Spelling' should appear. When I click that I get a dialog box that comes up offering basically all the options that MS Word spell check does.

IE7, and firefox 2.0 spell check for me, IE7 even corrects the word automatically, according to my office settings (school, like i would ever use IE at home, or office!)

I hate how it pops up in a separate window that doesn't auto minimize. If they integrated their download manager into Firefox the way it is in Opera, No contest Firefox would rule.
