FreeSpell

spell checker

Our Rating: (Good!)

FreeSpell is a command line interface spell checker that uses the well known, Open Source Aspell engine to check any selected text for spelling errors and offers suggestions to correct them. The program does not have a GUI, but uses a command line window to show any errors found as well as options to correct them. A spell check requires you to simply select (highlight) the text to be checked and then use a keyboard shortcut to launch the spell checker. The program works with any application, including Microsoft Outlook, Eudora or any other program. In addition, unlike most other spell checking tools, FreeSpell also works with selected text on a web page (not limited to form fields). If you can live without a pretty interface, and need top quality spell checking for free, give FreeSpell a try.
