ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a webpage. It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of web-based text entry (e.g. web mails, forums, blogs, diaries). Even if your Web application already includes spell checking functionality, you might still want to install this utility because it is definitely much faster than a server-side solution. Plus you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications, instead of maintaining separate ones on each application.

One of the few utilities that I truly cannot live without. Would only be improved if they could find someway to implement inline spell checking, a la Firefox 2.0+.

Great tool but would really like it if I could also Look up the meaning of a word even if the word is spelled right.

Although I *think* (truly cannot remember) this app is getting a bit too large for what it does, it does what it does fantastically. I could not live without it. Get it and make your online writing at least appear as if you can spell.
