If you would like to check your spelling on the fly the tinySpell might do it for you. Unfortunately as you type you can correct your spelling. You can't go back and by highlighting a word correct the spelling later.

What it does is signals you when a word is spelled incorrectly, on the fly. The program is tiny,stable,almost no system resource usage,and shows you the correct spellings, however being so small (on the task-bar) you really have to glance down to see if it caught a spelling error even though it does make a very weak thump sound.

I'm using it as I write this review. Great for Forums too. Easy to learn, but, could use a better interface. If more folks used Tiny Spell, the Forums would be readable.

I use this program for spell checking in my cook book program ( Living Cookbook ) while in browser mode. IE Spell and Free Spell wont work in this application , however Tiny Spell does. It works for my need , its stable and its small.

This app only checks one word at a time and isn't very intuitive. Consider other applications if you are looking for anything more than the most basic functionality.

If you are like me, and you have no clue you are making a spelling mistake, this program will alert you, if you chose it to, whenever you misspell something while you are typing. Its simple, easy to install, sits in your system tray and waits for you to start it. Once started, you can chose for it to show you a small floating window with the misspelled word or not to. You can choose to have it beep or not. I highly recommend it for anyone who is concerned about their spelling abilities even if you are just sending a quick email, this will follow your keystrokes. And don't forget, the price is right, FREE, thank a program developer for making it available free.

I rate this little program as excellent. So easy to use and does everything I would want and does it in any document I type. Oh yes, nothing lower than excellent!

This little program is great. Right now the program is spell checking each word as I type. It checks every word no matter what program you are typing in. It is easy to use for small documents and is very user friendly. If you need an instant spell check for just a word here and there this program is excellent I Highly recommend it.

Easy to install and use I would recommend this programme.When you start to use the programme it will probably not recognise some of the words that you use but it will prompt you and you can then add the word to it s database.
