Spell-checking With Opera

Opera supports the spelling checker GNU Aspell. To be able to check spelling when using Opera, you need to install this software as well as dictionaries in your preferred languages.

Note that Opera for Macintosh uses the system spelling checker; no additional installations are required.

Here's the link for the spell info on the Opera website.

Opera is free and reads out loud.

They don't charge anymore, it's all free.

I am used to Firefox but it doesn't hurt to try the alternatives.

I will be testing out the Opera text to speech and voice control in a while.

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when eye rime.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore a veiling checker's
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.

Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault's with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.

Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.

Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.

I like what Opera has to offer—it is quite fast. Unfortunately, it won't display some of the more unorthodox, non-W3C-compliant things I enjoy, so I'm staying with Firefox but leaving Opera as an alternative on the side.

Jeffrey, when I read things like that, I have to wonder what universe it would be spelled correctly in. :)

Ulrika, so what does that make Konqueror? ;)

What you should do, Torley, is use Opera primarily and then only switch (when you have a poorly coded, non-standards-compliant webpage) when needed! :D

What pages are you talking about by the way, if you don't mind my asking? I'm curious to see the problems that's all.

I used to like Konquerer when on Linux, but I dunno, with Opera's ads gone that's probably going to change...
