January 2010 Tech-Tip of the Month – Spell Check in Your Web Browser
Tired of not having the red squiggle let you know when you’re about to make a fool of yourself with that missed typo when typing online?
FireFox has long come to the rescue with simple add-ons, but here we look at spell checkers for Internet Explorer, FireFox and Safari
Google Toolbar
For those of you happy about the ubiquitous Google capturing even more of your browsing habits the Google Toolbar is probably the puppy for you, its quick easy and works in FireFox, Internet Explorer and Safari. You’re just a few clicks away from it here http://toolbar.google.com
FireFox
For those of you fortunate enough to be using FireFox then you already have a spell checker, all you need to do is install the dictionary of choice from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3. For those of you languishing on Internet Explorer the you can get FireFox from here http://www.getfirefox.com
Internet Explorer
If you’re in happy Microsoft land and just want to know where “i before e except after c” doesn’t apply then get yourself over to http://www.iespell.com/ it’s a lovely free of charge spell checker that works with pretty much any version of IE, uses little resources and works just like the spell check in Microsoft Word
