A real-time spellcheck for Internet Explorer.

Though it may sound like something you eat for breakfast, Speckie is an Internet Explorer addon which provides you with a spell checker tool, perfect for forum users with either bad spelling or prone to typos.

Speckie is easy to install and gives you the same type of spellchecking available in commercial word processing software such as Microsoft Word or Open Office. Speckie is fast and lets you know of spelling mistakes in real-time.

After you have installed Speckie, it will add two new options to the right-click menu like suggestions. In the settings, you can tell Speckie to limit the number of suggestions it gives you or configure how you would like misspelled words to appear - a strike-through, underlined, etc.

Among other things, you may also increase the size of your dictionary easily by letting Speckie know if a supposedly misspelled word is correct and exists.

Speckie is a must-have for Internet Explorer users who interact with online communities!
