Occasionally you need to check the spelling of words in an application that does not include a spelling checker and you don’t want to launch your word processor just for that. This is when tinySpell becomes handy. It is a small utility that allows you to easily and quickly check the spelling of words in any Windows application. tinySpell monitors your typing on the fly and alerts you whenever it detects a misspelled word. It also checks the spelling of every word you copy to the clipboard. tinySpell installs itself in the system tray for easy access. It comes with an American-English dictionary containing more than 110,000 words.

This is a nice alternitive to winging it! Once you have it instaled, then all you have to do is remmember to use it. If I had a nickle for every time I read a sentence that obviously wsan’t spell checked, I’d probably be a billionare. And since this one sits quitely in your system tray until it’s needed, what’s not to liek? And the price tag is in your budget, too: free.
