"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."

It looked promising, but I couldn't get this one to work on WinXP Pro.
For one thing, it doesn't do the familiar spelling scan of a document.
Instead, it stops on a suspect word that displays inside its small
text box. I configured it to make a sound upon a misspell, but I never
heard one. In addition, the program simply didn't stop at every
misspelling, in fact it seemed to simply stop working after the first
misspell. It performed no better after I copied the document to the
clipboard. If I'm missing something here please let me know... but a
spell checker should work better than this.

I have it running right now on XP Pro and I like it! No doc scan but for
short stuff (especially web forms) it's great! A review to come (soon I
hope).

Buzzy :)
