- Microsoft Internet Explorer Spell Checker
- Brand: Microsoft | Category: Other

OK…Take this with as many grains of salt as you need. Here is a great little device that lives in your IE browser that lets you spell check any text in any window on a web page. It’s free and easy to download and install. Once installed, you just right click and pick “check spelling” out of the menu. I have installed it on all the browsers/computers I own and I use it all the time, because I am a crappy speller. This add on works seamlessly, and is free. There are many places to download it from, you can do a search on IE spell check, or download it here, from Cnet.
To use it you just highlight the text you want to check (from one word to a whole paragraph..thats assuming you use punctuation) and right click and select check spelling. Be careful about what the replacement words are..I have been burned a few times when it replaced misspellings with words I didn’t want!
Get it!

David thanks for posting this. One of my pet peeves is about people being to lazy or uninformed about pushing the spell check button. My MS Internet Explorer 8 has the spell check built in and I use it all the time.

Cool! Chrome does spell checking as you type.

Firefox has this built in. It just gets weird sometimes in words it sees, words it thinks you are trying to spell or it thinks a word should have a capital letter in it.

My computer has spell check in all programs that have words. It’s built into the OS. Apple.
