tinySpell: Check your spelling with this freeware

tinySpell: Check your spelling with this freeware
Probably the most useful tool that I have on my computer.
It is an unfortunate reality that people will usually judge you as uneducated when they often see spelling mistakes in your compositions. Spelling checkers are now a must for people who write using computers.

Spelling checkers are usually included with top word processors like Microsoft Word, but the thing is, you don’t want to open Word just to type a small memo or simple notes. Sometimes Notepad is enough for simple tasks.

For a simple work around with these limitations you can simply just fire up Notepad and download a small utility called tinySpell v1.3. This utility is compatible with all Windows versions, is freeware, and eats almost no system resources at all.

All you need to do is start the application and type your notes or memos from any word processor. If you make a spelling error, the program will beep to alert you of the mistake. Just click on the application on the system tray and it will give you word recommendations for automatic spell change.

This app works not only on Notepad or Wordpad but on every word processor in the Windows environment; it even works when typing from Internet Explorer, Opera, or Firefox.

With tinySpell you will never have to worry about spelling mistakes even if you use word processors with no spelling checker. A word of warning though, this program should only be used for small writing chores and definitely not for novels or long documents.
