Add Spell Check to Internet Explorer with ieSpell

By Madhur Kapoor on Jan 21, 2008 in Windows

We all wish to have Spell Checker within our browser so that it can correct out mistakes when we write mail, forums etc. ieSpell is a free extension of Internet Explorer that can spell check text boxes in web pages.

When you install the program, a new button will become available in the IE toolbar. After writing a mail or filling up a web form, just hit the button, and a dialog box will appear similar to the one we see in MS word and other applications. Using the dialog box, you can correct the errors and even add some words to dictionary. It can even work on any browser that is based on IE such as MyIE, SlimBrowser etc.

Some of its features are

Integrates flawlessly with Internet Explorer and other IE based browsers
Spell check in any of the 3 variants (US, UK and Canadian) of the English Language
Organize your personal words in individual custom dictionaries! Share them with your friends and co-workers over the network
Integrates with Microsoft Office’s proofing tools. Have ieSpell share the same copy of the custom dictionary so that when you add/remove your personal words in ieSpell, the same is reflected in Microsoft Office and vice versa

A must have application if you use Internet Explorer. Have you tried any such application ? Do share your thoughts with us through comments.

I don’t really recommend using IE7, but for those that want to use it, I make them install this and IE7Pro.

They help make IE7 usable.

I am not that big fan of IE. But, I suppose I should give it a try now.

I use IE for several purposes so this tool is very welcome. I’m really getting bored with typing the words I’m not sure how to spell in Google.

I had used this with IEPro add-on and it was causing my IE to crash, so uninstalled it. But a needed plugin for IE users.

I have installed this as a standalone and so far it is not causing any problems.
