Spellling problem? Check out gSpell

For the past few months I have been using a utility for OS X by the name of gSpell. Pretty much it takes misspelled words and runs a Mac OS X service to check them against google’s suggested spellings. From there it replaces them with the closest match. gSpell can be is invoked using a global keyboard shortcut, which means you can quickly change spelling in any application. For instance, if while chatting on AIM I type in “I garuntee you will love it” OS X’s default spell checker won’t give me the proper word suggestion for “garuntee” but gSpell replaces the word perfectly with “guarantee”.

So if you’re a compulsive bad speller rejoice and start using gSpell. One last helpful tip, when using gSpell in small instances (IM, web forms, etc.) select all the text (cmd-a) and then run gSpell command (cmd-shift=’).
