What happened to the Free Online Spell Checkers?

ofoglada · #1 (**permalink**) 01-03-2004, 02:07 PM

Just wondering if anyone knows if a free version of the spellcheckers used on forums still exist. I see spellchecker.net changed over to 150 bucks per 10,000 uses. If you know of one available i have a non-profit that needs it that does not have the funding to pay 150. It pretty much just needs to analize the info in one form field. (lord knows i could use a spellchecker ;) )

Ben - In lieu of an online service, maybe some type of script or program that would compare against a dictionary of words that is stored on the site server.

Or use client-side script to utilize some popular spellcheckers that may be on the users machine already. Here is a sample of how that is done http://www.alecmcnamara.freeserve.co.uk/spell/

Next best thing to having it on the server here, http://www.webattack.com/get/iespell.html
would appear there may be some spyware in it from what the ad reads however.
