I am searching hard for an online spanish spelling checker. I can find loads of translate programs (Spanish-English, etc.) but that is not what I need. I have a text written in Spanish and want to spell check it. My MS Word doesn't support Spanish.
First of all, if you're going to be doing a lot of Spanish writing, you're going to be best off making your word processor be able to check spelling (and maybe even grammar) in Spanish. (You should check first to make sure that your version doesn't already have Spanish. Some versions have it already installed, but you need to select it from a menu.) If you can't get what you want from Microsoft, look for a third-party vendor that provides foreign-language tools. Some of them are listed in the box at right. Once you have the dictionaries installed, checking in Spanish is a matter of merely choosing the language from a pull-down menu in Word or whatever word processor you use. Most of these tools are available for under $100.
Online spell checkers are useful, but they do have their limitations, not the least of which is you have to be online. Those I know about also are listed in the box at right.
