JManrow Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I have been using the Firefox Browser http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ for at least a couple of years now. It is much faster than Internet Explorer and has many "Add On" applications. One feature that I appreciate is the Spell Check feature. A drawback may be the results given, depending how badly the user is "hooked on phonics". For example, the word "repercussion", when misspelled as "repercusion", shows the results: repercussion percussion repulsion reprehension repression Spelled as "repurkuhshin", shows the results: repurchase repulsiveness republicanism Republicanism. Does anyone have any experience with other Browsers that may have a better spell check feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I agree the Firefox spell check needs work. Have you tried the spellbound add-on for Firefox? I don't have any experience with that add-on, but it may be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobble Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 You bet. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9207 I haven't tried it out yet, so I don't know if it's any good. I was wrong, it's not beta. It's still alpha, so expect some bugs. (laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
