Welcome
Welcome to SpellAll,

the one Spell Checking tool for all windows!

SpellAll can check the spelling of any Edit or Rich Edit window simply by dragging the "Spelling Bee" icon from the tool tray to the window you want to check. Any other window may be checked by using the Check Clipboard Contents Now feature.  SpellAll can also do As-You-Type spell checking, no matter what program you are using!

  ♦	Right-click the "Spelling Bee" icon  [image] in the Tool Tray to change

SpellAll's settings

  ♦	Drag the bee icon from the Tool Tray over a window to check it's spelling

or check the clipboard from the right-click menu

  ♦	Left-click on the "Spelling Bee" icon to open the SpellAll console


Overview

SpellAll is a unique spell checking tool that allows you to easily spell check the contents of any window!  Any edit or rich edit window, which includes Notepad, WordPad, E-Mail entry windows, and many others, may be checked by dragging the bee icon [image]  from the Windows tool tray over the window you want to check, and releasing the mouse button.  If the icon is over a window that SpellAll is sure it can check, the icon will look like:    If SpellAll is not sure if it can check the window the icon is over, the icon will look like [image] , in which case it may or may not be able to read directly from the window.  What if SpellAll doesn't recognize a window you want to check? Just copy the contents of the window to the clipboard and choose Check Clipboard Contents Now from the menu that appears when you right-click on the tool tray bee icon. SpellAll will check the complete contents of the clipboard, allowing you to replace misspelled words, etc. just as if it was checking a window.  When SpellAll is done checking the clipboard, simply paste the corrected clipboard contents back into your original document.  As SpellAll encounters words that are not in the dictionary, it displays the Word Not In Dictionary window, allowing you to replace the word, replace all, ignore, etc.

Features

Automatic "As You Type" Spelling:

SpellAll can constantly monitor your computer to provide on-the-fly spell checking.  Choose Spell Check As-You-Type from the right-click menu to turn this feature on.  If you type a word that is not in the dictionary, SpellAll will alert you with a sound and/or a Popup window showing suggested spelling.  See Settings for more information.  SpellAll even tracks your spelling as you use the arrow keys, the backspace key, and the delete key to make changes to the last few dozen words you typed, checking each one of them as you go.  (Note that SpellAll assumes you are in insert mode, not overstrike!)
