Speckie for Windows

User Reviews

• It works very well.

  jas-matt3/31/2013

  Pros

  Installs easily and you don't notice it's there until you need it.`

  Cons

  None that I've seen.

  Summary

  Just right click on the highlighted word and it offers several solutions. Some days when you have a brain cramp and you swear that you have the right spelling of a word, is no longer a problem with Speckie. It just works automatically, something that IE should have had from the beginning, a spell checker.

• NUMERO UNO IE ADDON,TEACHES REDMOND A LESSON.PERIOD.

  sbose643/22/2013

  Pros

  nearly flawless working,needs no help file,simple options that do not confuse you,tiny and responsive,a mini dictionary at your beck and call 24x7,works unobtrusively and in perfect tandem with internet explorer,doesnt boggle an already slow ie down at all.

  Cons

  hardly any i can think about.well could highlighting the particular word have more colourful and designer options,like the one you can do with cursor styling?

  Summary

  lean and responsive.a feature redmond never thought about adding to their bundled browser.unarguably one of the best indepedent and useful addon ie can be associated with filling up a critical shortcoming.unlike the largely useless and mostly outdated addons that ieaddongallery offers this one is regularly updated by versoworks developers.a brilliant piece of plugin that users love and marvel at and that comes as an eyeopener to ie team at redmond.

• As usual, IE missed the boat...

  IAMone199/14/2012

  Pros

  Fixes Microsoft's oversight...

  Cons

  Not as good as native tools in Chrome or Firefox

  Summary

  IE is the only browser available that doesn't include a built-in spell checker. Just another reason I avoid IE for web browsing; the only time I fire up IE is to test my design/development work... It's sad really, when you consider how many mostly-useless features and options IE 9 offers the user, yet no native spell check. Brilliant. Shouldn't we assume that IE is geared toward business like all of Microsoft's software? But I guess there's no need to spell check any work you do in the browser, at least according to Microsoft's thinking. I'm grateful for Speckie for rectifying Microsoft's omission...

• Speckie is a must

  belkenn9/6/2012

  Pros

  Does what it says with no fuss at all. does not put a silly tool bar in explorer. It just sits in the background until needed. Something like this should have been part of I.E from the start.

  Cons

  None that I have found

  Summary

  Download Speckie you will not regret doing so. It's the best I. E. add on that I have found.

• Caution File is corrupt

  mettabhavana7/12/2012

  Pros

  There are no pros

  Cons

  The file tried to load something called Yanto tool bar and when I tried to get out of it, the set up went to a different screen. Not that of the Speckie software. My virus scans both MacAfee and Malware bites flagged it as a corrupted file. So beware.

• Downloaded But Nothing Worked

  ElObomo7/3/2012

  Pros

  Didn't work, so can't comment.

  Cons

  Downloaded three different times from three different sites - CNET, Softpedia, MajorGeeks - shows it is installed in programs but it never ran in memory, never installed an icon, never worked. Deleted three times.

  Summary

  Have Windows7, IE9, 4mb ram, never worked. Followed all the instructions but it never worked. How about some answers/hints/tips from Speckie?<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 3, 2012<p/>You have to enable the thing in the Manage Add-ons section of Tools. I enabled it in the pop up when it first installed but that didn't work for some reason.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 4, 2012<p/>Works great now - 5 Stars!

• Works good, but confusing to install...

  scottls5990111/3/2011

  Pros

  I'm finally able to use IE9 with spell check. I like FireFox bookmarks from address bar, but always behind with compatible Java &#38; Flash. I also feel IE9 has better security for online transactions...

  Cons

  Only works on tabs opened after original homepage, and installation is Very confusing!

  Summary

  Installation Instructions- Download &#38; OPEN in IE9, or save &#38; install (I temp disabled AV/Webguard)... Open IE &#38; Allow speckie addon. Browse to Speckie &#38; download Your language dictionary (Many languages)/ OPEN! Done.

• Free and it works!

  derekgore11/2/2011

  Pros

  finally a spell checker that works in IE9. Iespell hasn't been updated in years. This works with 7 and it also corrects all my online posts like this one catching all my typos.

  Cons

  It will sometimes not light up a misspelled word and then later will.

  Summary

  Works, not perfect, best alternative available now.

  azsunwoman10/9/2011

  Pros

  Works with IE9 &#38; Windows 7. Works very well in FB. Have complained I needed this after trying Foxfire (but don't use Foxfire (viruses cost me a laptop). This is what I've been looking for. Highly recommend 4 all. Great, free, simple to use.

  None. Haven't found anything to complain about at all.

  Summary

  Even if you are a perfect speller or typer, this program will be a dream come true. Office made me spoiled &#38; this is the internet answer to always being correct. Love it!
