Find words as you type - on the fly searching, almost anywhere

I didn't like the website from the outset.. so I never tried it out. With this added info I won't even bother. If there's something I can't accept in software it's using software that nobody is looking after.

Thanks CarolHaynes.

I've long been looking for something that could spell-check on the fly, anywhere where text is entered.. and haven't found anything yet. Spell-check, and, well, maybe such things as stored texts which one could activate with keywords... like, for example, if you type "btw" that it would actually put in "by the way". In some cases that could be very useful :)

I have not tried these myself, but FWIW (probably not much):

Occasionally you need to check the spelling of words in an application that does not include a spelling checker and you don't want to launch your word processor just for that. This is when tinySpell becomes handy. It is a small utility that allows you to easily and quickly check the spelling of words in any Windows application. tinySpell monitors your typing on the fly and alerts you whenever it detects a misspelled word. It also checks the spelling of every word you copy to the clipboard.
tinySpell installs itself in the system tray for easy access. It comes with an American-English dictionary containing more than 110,000 words.

Freeware, with donation if desired

Would AllChars do for keyword-activated expansion?

But that's two programs, of course.
