I have it and I use it and I love it. First, it automatically corrects commonly mistyped words like teh when you meant to type the. You can also type your own short hand for words you commonly use. For instance when I type LCS1 Spell catcher changes it to Louisville Computer Society. I have set up several of these shorthands for words I often type. It is a big big help.
Come to the February Louisville Computer Society meeting and I will demonstrate some of SpellCatcher's capabilities.
