View Full Version : Spellcheck for GS

About a year ago someone posed a question about the feasibility of spell checking functionality for GS via Lich. As far as I am aware there hasn't been a script written to support this. However, I recently stumbled across a small program called tinySpell that adds on the fly spell checking functionality to any program run in Windows, which includes StormFront (I assume Wizard as well, though I haven't actually tested it).

There's a free version as well as a paid, I've only used the free version and it seems to do the trick quite nicely. It also allows for the addition of new words to its dictionary, so you can add all those weird GS only words like aelotoi and Fash'lo'nae. Anyway, I thought people might find it useful. You can download it here: http://download.cnet.com/TinySpell/3000-2079_4-10507622.html

About the only downside I can see is that we'd lose the entertainment value of Dessedemona or Demyse's spelling if they started using this. On the plus side though, coherency.

If you can only figure out one way to spell a word you have a kreativity problem.

I do it old school.

Copy and paste into Word, spell-check, copy and paste back into my message window in the forum.

Fairly certain this thread is about spellcheck for GS, not a forum...
