• few flaws

  HappyHarry2August 28, 2006

  Pros

  looks good on the surface

  Cons

  But words in between ' ' and red lined. Some words which are spelt correctly are red lined as in the example, the word application. Capitalize first letter option seen to leave bad charter returns.

• Don't read those other fools ratings

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This is an activeX control...That means it is intended for use by PROGRAMMERS who are developing new software. It can't be used with your Microsoft Word, you idiots. If you are a developer and you are looking for a spell checking component for your Visual Basic program, try this. It is better than WSpell that's for sure.

• Not at all user friendly for non-experts

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  18 min download at 33.6k. Could not use it immediately. Not apparent that it could be used in Windows. Only programming use apparent. Requires further download of dictionary from Polar's website. There is not clear indication of what the program will do or its compatibility for spell checking in Wordprocessor programs.

  Gang, don't bash the OCX because you can't add it to your app. You want a DLL, and they have one of those too! It works great!

• It's an activex control

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  The reason you can't use it with a word processsor is because it is an activex component used for development (hence the technical lingo %-) and not a plug-in.

  I could not even figure out how to get the program to work with my word processor. Uses advanced computer lingo that is confusing.
