Ever get frustrated when you realize the application you use does not have the spell-check built in? Well, sometimes it could be a local application, sometimes it could be a web app, but regardless of what kind of the application you are using, having no spell-check can be a real pain in some circumstances where you aren’t sure if you have the word typed correctly. TinySpell is a freeware for Windows that offers system wide spell-check, which fills right in to the gap.

To be honest, I’m not very good at spelling words so I heavily rely on the spell-check to do the job for me. I used to always go to Google to type a word or a phrase only to make sure that whatever the word I spell is spelled right. Now with this tool, I don’t have to worry about whether the application that I’m using has spell-check or not because I can always be prompted for any typos, mistakes I made in writing.

You can download the tinySpell here. There is a free version and a plus version. To me, the free version is good enough to get started.

How is How To Setup tinySpell

1. Download the installer
2. After install launch the application go to the Windows notification area right click go to settings
3. Now is a good time to customize your hotkeys, specifically you want to customize the first “Replacement-list” hotkey
4. There are also options available for you to disable certain application to not being affect. You can customize to include/exclude an application to enable the spell check
5. So once you have everything set you can start typing anywhere in Windows and tinySpell should atomically pickup any misspellings words
6. To fix the miss typed word just press the hotkey you have configured earlier (ex. by default if you see a miss typed word press “Ctrl + ;”
7. It will show a list of the word suggestions.

Enjoy.
