Gold code!



Tired of your favorite application not having spell checking support?

Tired of having to continuously switch between languages when spell checking different documents?

Keep writing assasination, when you actually mean assassination?

Relax, your worries are now over.

Kisa provides spell checking as you type under X11 based systems and displays the result in a small window on your Desktop. You can type anywhere, in any window and Kisa will spell check the word for you.

Kisa uses GNU Aspell as it's back-end, so it's easy to manage and install one of the 70+ dictionaries that are available.

These days most major applications already provide live spell checking, or spellcheck-as-you-type as it's also known. Firefox does it now and if you're running KDE, it's been there for a while. However, there are still plenty of cases where one could want this, especially if one feels a sudden case of dyslexia coming up.

Try it out! Let me know what you think.
