The core WinSpell component allows client applications that utilise the Windows spell check service, such as Internet Explorer 10, to spell check in more than one language simultaneously. It achieves this by intelligently combining the built-in Windows spell checker and the Windows language settings. Simply set the languages you wish to spell check within the Windows language settings and WinSpell does the rest. This means that any language supported by the Windows spell checker is supported by WinSpell.

A complementary WinSpell component is an extension for Internet Explorer 10 Desktop. It adds several of the features found in our award winning Speckie software. WinSpell for Internet Explorer 10 Desktop works in conjunction with its built-in spell check solution and enhances it with a full JavaScript API to access spell check functionality from web pages, optionally enable or disable spell check in single line or multi line edit fields, override web page settings that disable spell check in edit fields and specify the number of spelling suggestions displayed.
