ieSpell 2.5.1

Product Description

ieSpell is an Internet Explorer browser extension that provides spell check capability from the browser. It spell checks text input boxes on a webpage (e.g. web mails, forums, blogs, diaries). The program installs as a new button in the IE toolbar (as well as a new menu item under "Tools") - after filling in a text input box on a webpage the user can hit the ieSpell button and a dialog box pops up (similar to the MS Word spell check). This program allows you to store and use your personal word list across all your applications, instead of maintaining separate ones on each application. ieSpell works on other IE based browsers such as SlimBrowser, CrazyBrowser, MSN, MyIE, etc.
