5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable piece of software., August 21, 2002

This review is from: Spell Catcher 8.0 (CD-ROM)

Of all the software I have, Spell Catcher is probably the one I use most often. Sure my word processor has a built-in spell checker but it's not as handy and powerful as Spell Catcher. And, Spell Catcher isn't limited to checking my typing in word processors and e-mail, it can spell check typing in any software I use -- including forms. Furthermore, Spell Catcher will automatically correct many common spelling errors without even bothering to notify you about them. For example, if you type "recieve," Spell Catcher will automatically change it to receive. If there are any words which you commonly misspell, you can easily add them to the list of automatic corrections. My favorite feature of Spell Catcher is that you can create your own personal shorthand for words you commonly use. For example, if I type "drs" Spell Catcher automatically changes it to David R. Schryer. Currently, I have hundreds of words in my shorthand gossary. Believe me this significantly speeds up typing. Since you can create your own shorthand abbreviations, they're easy to remember. All in all, Spell Catcher is a terrific piece of software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Time-Saver!, November 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Spell Catcher 8.0 (CD-ROM)

I've used Spell Catcher for at least five years. Using "keyboard shorthand" has saved untold hours of typing. For example: typing "peiol" (which SC initially cannot recognize as a word), gave me the opportunity to use this as shorthand, so that now, when I type "peiol," SC automatically changes this to "phacoemulsification, cataract, with intraocular lens implant." Any question which is easier?

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, August 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Spell Catcher 8.0 (CD-ROM)

The program wouldn't install properly. Repeated calls to tech support were frustrating and I was shuffled between sales and tech support. A good old fashioned paper dictionary in someone else's house across town would be more convenient.
