I needed a spell check for Outlook Express and asked Which? Computing for a safe one (am member)and they suggested this product and gave me a link, few clicks latter and it was done and works fine. I can add special work/sport words. And have set it up now to auto check before sending ,in case I forget. Very happy with it. Perhaps an update is needed if same one as first made in 2003?

I have been searching two days for a way to get my OE Spell check back in English. Since I can't reference other products by name let me just say if I lived in France the spell check that came my way would have been fine. Your download was fast and simple and cant' beat the price (free). It works perfectly, thank you so much.

This tool has worked well since recently downloading it and integrates seamlessly with OE6 which is nice. It works automatically if selecting the option to do so upon sending all emails. My only complaint is that it only spell checks the body of the email message and does not check the Subject Line.

Almost as bad as OE itself. You have to ask for spell check. Then suspect words are highlighted; OK. Then you have to ask for suggestions and most of the time it gets it wrong. The second biggest mistake one can make is downloading this annoying spell checker - the first being Outlook Express.

An essential add-on for OE

Even the best spellers mistype quite frequently and this little program will help you to catch most errors. I say most errors because the associated spell check dictionary is not always 100% accurate but neither is the one from MS Office.

Since I installed Microsoft Office 7 I noticed that spell check did not work in Outlook Express 6 in the English language. It would check spelling in French with no option to change to English. Once I added this little gem of a program spell check in OE6 works like a charm in the English language. This program definitely gets two thumbs up!

Dutch versions?

This is a great program, but I doubt it is legal. Unless you have the program where the spell checking files came from, so I've added the dutch versions to boot! (Not hard to do.) Works great. Note: I can't recommend it yea or nay, so I said yes. same goes for Price/Value, which is excellent in my case. Thanks. :)

Fits right in. You'll never know it's not the real thing. It doesn't have the largest dictionary in the world but for the price, it's acceptable. I've used it several times a day for about 5 years and it's never failed.

Integrates perfectly with OE. Does everything that it's meant to do for a spell checker, i.e. finds errors,corrects and replaces.
