Best spell checker. One of my most useful tools.

Pros
Works in all Windows applications (as far as I have tested). Checks spelling while typing. You can add words to its dictionary. Uses very small memory and other resources. Also checks the Clipboard. Easy to use and Free!
Cons
Works only in English. I am considering buying the "plus" version to check in more languages.
Summary
I like this program a lot. It really helps me and I am glad I downloaded it.
TERRIBLE PROGRAM WILL NOT RUN

Summary
Serious Bug with Visual Studio
alchokemMay 6, 2015
Pros
Works fairly well most of the time.
Cons
Locks up all debug sessions in Visual Studio 2013 100 % of the time. Author was informed six weeks ago of this problem but has yet to release a fix.
Summary
If you're not using Visual Studio 2013, you may be okay.
Very good stuff

Pros
It's a real time spell checker. Your through typing it through correcting. Non of that do you want to spell check before you send. No Brains needed to operate like all programs in this field it doesn't know slang but you can teach it just add to dictionary and he keeps right on trucking install and forget about it the only time you will remember it's running is when it beeps at an error or the colored text pops up with the spelling correction. Very fast smooth worth every cent you paid for it and then some. I have used it for several years and like it very much hard to get use to it not running 24 7 365. Never has given me any problem never locked up all around 100% Satisfied. works with everything I have, Chat, Messengers all browsers.
Cons
No CONS for me all + + tinyspell+
Summary
You get more than a bang for your buck.
Fabulous programme

Pros
Works with everything and is a great boon to me as my spelling is not up to much.
Cons
Haven't found any problems so far!
Summary
Wonderful for anyone who is not a confident speller, it allows you to unleashes your creativity if you wish instead of hiding it case you show yourself up with your spelling. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone.
Excellent Spell Check
EricVonZipperSeptember 24, 2012
Pros
Very tiny footprint used on disc, very small memory useage. It flags misspelled words as you type, then click to see several suggested words, usually has the correct word first on the list.
Cons
It just flags incorrect words as you type, doesn't show misspellings in the entire text.
Summary
Install ease - A Resource usage - A Footprint - A Ease of use - A Overall Grade - A Updated on Sep 24, 2012Using it in IE9, other browsers - YMMV.
Wonderful!!

Cons
In an ideal world, having a Canadian English dictionary would be preferable
Summary
Can't go wrong with this choice for your computer.
great program
