To begin with, I am sure that all of us make a lot of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors while doing some assignment, project etc. on our systems. This is something that is inevitable and all of us are guilty of. These mistakes, or silly mistakes I should say, can also be a little irritating sometimes. To save you this irritation, I have come up with these 5 free spell check software that help you out in such situations. These software support different languages and work with different applications on your system. So check them out and install your favourite ones on your desktop.
The 5 free spell check software that I have reviewed here are Ginger, TinySpell, Language Tool, Spell Checker, and Free Spell.
Ginger:
The first free spell check software in this list is Ginger. The software has a very stylish interface and some useful features. The software has two versions. One is basic and the other is the paid version. The free version of the software works with PowerPoint, outlook, MS Word, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox. You can switch between US English and British English. These are the only two languages that the free version supports. Another feature is that, it not only corrects spelling but also detects Grammatical errors and rephrases the sentences for you. To use Ginger, you have to place the cursor where you want to perform the spell check and press the assigned hotkey. The software will provide all the available corrections and you can approve the one you want or simple skip it.
Overall, Ginger is a decent software with a very stylish interface. I just wish that the free version could support Google Chrome as well.
