tinySpell 1.9.40

To be completely honest with you, I have to say that I dread the day when someone is going to ask me to write something down on an actual piece of paper. I have been spoiled by the spell-check feature in the software applications I use. Microsoft’s Word has such a feature, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail also have one, and even my Firefox browser has a built-in spell checker. I have become so accustomed to the auto spell scheming feature that sometimes I don’t even bother to correctly type a word, because AutoCorrect will automatically fix it for me.

You can see why I am not going to be too eager to write on actual paper – or use a piece of software that does not have a built-in spell checker, which is most likely to occur sooner than writing on hard copy. Should that situation ever occur, I can rest assured that a specialized piece of software has my back.

I am talking about the KEDMI Scientific Computing- developed tinySpell application. If you ever have to use an application that does not come with a built-in spell checker, you don’t have to take the text you just wrote and paste in an application that does have a spell checker (like Firefox, of Gmail, or Word, or something else). You can just use tinySpell to check your spelling is accurate.

tinySpell checks your spelling no matter what Windows application you use – even Notepad, which as we all know does not come with such a feature.

The bottom line is that tinySpell will check your spelling. Here are the other bits and pieces you need to know about this software application:
- It is freeware, so using it will not cost you a thing. tinySpell+ on the other hand does come with a price tag, but for the money you pay you get an extra amount of features.
- Check your spelling no matter what application you use. You can select for which applications tinySpell is enabled and for which it is disabled.
- Your spelling is checked as you type.
- Can issue an audio notification when you make a typing mistake

If you want a free, easy to use application to check your spelling on the go, then tinySpell is the application for you.

Pros

• Easy to use
• Checks spelling as you type
• Audio notifications
• Freeware

Cons

• None that I could think of
