eType - nice free auto spell checker word suggestion (and basic translation)

(1/3) > >>

nudone:
Thought this was quite nice for an on-the-fly spell-checker, thesaurus, translator too.

Interesting mix of features.  But it doesn't do text (including phrase) expansion, or text correction, does it?

nudone:
hmm, no. it isn't fantastic, i just thought it was good for a free tool (maybe there are better ones).

i use TinySpell http://tinyspell.numerit.com/ for everyday use. it isn't free, but it's pretty cheap. best spell checker/correctrion tool i've tried that works in all programs.

mouser:
Can i make a plug for my fspell farr plugin?

nudone:
i like FarSpell (and everything related to FARR) but it's a different kind of tool as it doesn't allow for automatic on-the-fly correction as you are typing. the whole point of TinySpell and eType is that you don't have to move away from the text you are typing.

FarSpell is something to use occasionally, if you aren't too bad at spelling or if you need more detailed solutions. for my own use, i need something that tells me immediately that i'm an idiot for spelling something wrong in almost every sentence i type.
