ieSpell (All)

[tom_keefer]

JakeHaze provided the link for this little gem in the middle of a thread a couple of days ago. Thought it ought to be posted here for all to view.

<a target="_blank" href=http://www.iespell.com/index.htm>ieSpell</a>
adds a spell checker module to IE6. Pretty spiffy for all those who contribute to forums and have keyboards that don't spell all that well. /images/forums/icons/smile.gif

Thanks again, Jake.

Great plug-in for use on forums. I use it a lot, my grammar still sucks but at least the words are spelled right. lol.

i have seen this recommendation long time ago. However, this ieSpell does not check grammer. Is there any thing like that check grammer?

Homeflash,

Before you download or purchase anything, you should read about the <a target="_blank" href=http://englishplus.com/news/readthis.htm>drawbacks</a> of all grammar checking programmes. It's called <font color=blue>"Why Can't My Grammar Checker Automatically Correct My Mistakes?"</font color=blue>

Here's a programme called <a target="_blank" href=http://englishplus.com/>Grammar Slammer</a> that will check your grammar. It's posted as being for Windows 95, 98 and NT. It's shareware ($25.USD) with a free trial period of (I think) 30 days. Sorry, I've never used it so I'm unable to give any opinion.

There's a or you can try the <a target="_blank" href=http://englishplus.com/grammar/>online version (http://englishplus.com/pub/grmslm40.zip>download) of Grammar Slammer.

Here's the <a target="_blank" href=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=grammar%2Bchecker&btnG=Google+Search>Google</a> link for other Grammar Checker programmes. There are more programmes available for online use as well as others for download.

Good luck,

Try this Script

************************
oShell= new
ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
oShell.SendKeys( "^c" ); // copy
oWord= new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
oWord.Visible= true;
oWord.Documents.Add();
oWord.Selection.Paste();
oWord.ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling();
oWord.Selection.WholeStory();
oWord.Selection.Copy();
oWord.ActiveDocument.Close(0);
oWord.Quit();
var nRet= oShell.Popup(
"Apply changes?\nClick OK to replace all selected text.",
0,
"Spell Check Complete",
33 );
if ( nRet == 1 ) {
oShell.SendKeys( "^v" ); // paste
}

***********************

Copy and paste on a text editor and save as "Spell.js"

create a short cut on the IE toolbar and click on it when u want to do any spell sheck

it uses MS Word Spellcheck.

The only thing that will accurately check your grammar is you and a copy of Strunk & White's</font color=blue>[/b] (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/020530902X/qid=1041351539/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-8221279-2092766?v=glance&s=books>[b]<font).
