Add Real Time Spell Check to Internet Explorer
A quick tip for tonight.
If you use Internet Explorer a bit (if there is anyone left) you may find the lack of spell check a bit of a pain (unless it is provided by a JavaScript function on a particular website). It’s somewhat amazing that such a feature has not made it into Microsoft’s web browser after at least fifteen years.
Luckily, you can quickly add in this missing functionality through an add-on called Speckie from Versoworks.
Like other spell checking functions, Speckie puts a red squiggle under words that seem to be incorrect. Right clicking offending words will provide you a list of possible alternative spellings and the ability to add the word to the dictionary. You can even change dictionaries if you have more than one installed.
Speckie works with Internet Explorer up to the latest Internet Explorer 9 and re-uses the dictionaries that are made by Google for its Chrome browser. It’s free and made in Australia!

In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).
I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.
I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.
