CheckSpell

1.4
29 August 2009

Add Polish, Czech, Lithuanian, Slovak, Ukrainian to spelllchecker.

Overview

CheckSpell is spellchecking service for Mac OS X. It just adds Polish, Czech, Lithuanian, Slovak and Ukrainian dictionaries to the systemwide spellchecking.

Warning! To prevent technical conflicts, and for the users convenience, this installer will automatically remove the alternative spelling checker called cocoAspell.

CheckSpell uses the same engine and dictionaries, as used by recent versions of the OpenOffice software package.

Great app, works as expected. Download link provided by MU is not working anymore. But I have found that you can still download this app here: http://download.cnet.com/CheckSpell/3000-2351_4-187323.html

It's a great system component, much better than cocoAspell (i.e. faster and compatible with more applications, including iWork). However, it's sad we have to download and install it manually. Apple should have included it with OS X, because Polish is one of the officially supported languages in the system. Mac OS X 10.5 is localized in Polish, yet Apple did not supply *any* Polish spelling component with the system.

It is good to see developers step into the gaping hole left by Apple not adding spelling support for the languages that OS X is localized for. Many multi-linguists have been orphaned by Apple's (lack?) of policy in this area. Unfortunately, it is unclear from the website if CheckSpell supports other OpenOffice.org dictionaries such as Indonesian, Latvian, etc (anyone understand Polish?). It would also be interesting to know if CheckSpell avoids having to restart the specific app when changing dictionary language, which plagues cocoAspell.

CheckSpell can support other OO dictionaries if there is a need. Just let me know by mail (address is in the Read Me file). And no, ChcecSpell does not require to restart application to change the dictionary.
