Ok, many thanks in advance for any help offered.

I'm looking for a simple FREE universal spell checker app for winXP, that let's me set a hotkey, where, when I'm typing in a text box (such as this one I'm type in now), I can highlight my text and hit the hotkey and check the spelling.

I do not need this for using in Internet Explorer. I have found MANY MANY good programs, but, most are shareware and many do not support hotkeys. IESpell is GREAT, however, the hotkey support is not implemented yet. I am looking for anything similar to IEspell.


Again, 3000304023u4239847 thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You might wanna give the guys at TechTV's "Call for help" a call.

They might be able to help you find something suitable. :D

I have searched for the same thing in the past... However, I could only find this program (which is 30.00) that does what you are looking for. I have used this program for about a year and it is worth the 30.00.
