Is spell check ever going to be a feature here at GS?

Posted in

Trying not to be a putz here, but spell check would be super duper nice here! When I am typing, specially at 6am, I hate to think of spelling when my thoughts are going another way, I think I may lose my translation of my thoughts becuse I worry about spelling.

Sooooo......

You are welcome. If you right click on the underlined word it will offer correction options too. :o)

Here is a solution that I found to work for me, although I cannot guarantee if it will be a good option for you -- you will need to review and decide that for yourself.

If you are using Internet Explorer as your browser, there is an add on spell checker you can download called ieSpell:

I downloaded ieSpell check found here:

www.iespell.com/download.php

Once it has been downloaded you simply right click your mouse in whatever field that you are typing and select the check spelling option and it checks the spelling.

Here are two independent reviews of this free software that I found on the web:

Thanks for your post. I figured Mozilla Foxfire spell checker out and it works great. Here is a link to download their browser:

www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/?from=getfirefox

Once it has been downloaded goes to tools.
Click on options.
Click on Advanced.
In the second box called Browsing, check the 3rd box to Check my spelling as I type.
Now click OK.

It will highlight incorrectly spelled words in red and then you can right click your mouse on them and it will offer spelling suggestions. (Thanks mlandino!)

If you use Mozilla Firefox or the latest version of IE, the misspelled words will be underlined in red...sort of like Word. That may be help during the meantime.

We're workin' on it! You're certainly not alone in your request. : )
