Need a Spell checker for my computer that automatically reviews text as
I type and points out errors. Freeware or shareware.

Thanks

You asked for it: http://www.asutype.com/ <-- ***Not Freeware***

Note, I have not tried this as $49.95 is an outrageous price for a shareware
program IMHO.

TinySpell http://www.megspace.com/computers/tinyspell/ .

"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.

Checking your spelling is simple:
Option 1:

While you are typing, tinySpell monitors the text you enter and whenever it detects a misspelled word it beeps and the tinySpell icon in the system tray turns from white to yellow .

Option 2:

When you copy a word to the clipboard tinySpell checks its spelling immediately. Again, if the word is misspelled you hear a beep and the tinySpell icon turns to yellow. If the icon is white the word is spelled correctly.

Correcting a misspelled word is also simple:

When a misspelled word is detected, click the tinySpell icon or press the hot-key to pop up a list of suggested replacement words from which you can select a correction. The selected word is inserted into your document, or is copied to the clipboard (so you can paste it in your document), or both (depending on your settings).

tinySpell is a freeware but if you find it useful and want to support its development you can make a donation. Your donation will be handled by Digital River, Inc., a respectable e-commerce company that provides an easy and secure money transfer. Thank you.

iespell needs MS Word for Windows in order to work.

Google this group for Tinyspell, which fits the requirements.

Nope- IE spell does not need Word to be installed.

However, OE *does* in order to have Spell checking abilities.

IE Spell *dopes8 however, require that you use an IE -based browser
(IE< MyIE2, MSN, etc) to use it - hence the name.

It is mainly used for spell checking web applications, such as web
forms and BB Forums.

ON the other hand, if you can still find a link for it, APSC, a lil
JAVA based program, also spell checks - it is no longer supported and
discontinued, but it works - I even had it working in SAP....
