Free Spell Checking for Your Web Content

URL Spell Check might sound like a crazy idea – like many of the web sites out there that “only” do spell checking for you. Hear me out though because this could become a very powerful tool in the war against bad grammar.

Spellcheck any Webpage

All you do is type in the URL of your choice into the box on their web site, and it does a pretty good job and telling you which ones it thinks might be misspelled. Only problem is that it kind of chokes when it comes to pronouns.

In my opinion they could jump over that hurdle by giving me the pronoun it thinks is misspelled and then give me a link beside it to go check on Dictionary.com. We all screw up from time to time so this tool does make it a little easier to catch our spelling mistakes before we have embarrassed ourselves with our viewrs, VIEWeirs, viewers.

  • Yeah, I would suggest using this with a big list of other tools to check and make sure everything on your web site layout was on the up and up.

    Interesting idea but I would like to see it built in as a feature to something else. Spellchecking by itself still feels a little weird as a web service to me.
