RapidSpell provides 3 spelling components to add spell check functionality to your applications; RapidSpellDialog (dialog based checker control), RapidSpellAsYouType (as you type check control) and RapidSpellChecker (core spell checker class).

RapidSpellAsYouType

RapidSpellAsYouType functions like your users will expect. Spelling errors are highlighted as the user types, cuts/pastes, block deletes and loads files. This was the first .NET control to persistently highlight errors as the user continues to work (type, scroll etc). Right-clicking on a highlight presents a context menu with suggestions and options to 'Ignore All' or 'Add' to user dictionary. Includes English/Customizable Autocorrect. Works with TextBox and RichTextBox and many 3rd party controls. Only one instance of RapidSpellAsYouType is needed for all text boxes on a form.

RapidSpellDialog

RapidSpellDialog provides all the usual GUI features, add, undo, options, change, change all, ignore, ignore all, smart suggestions and double word detection. It interactively checks ANY TextBoxBase derived component such as TextBox and RichTextBox as well as 3rd Party Controls such as "TX Text Control". Checks selections, whole documents with wrap at end, highlights errors, accepts manual corrections, allows user to edit main document during spell check and also supports an editable user dictionary.

RapidSpellChecker

RapidSpellChecker provides core spell checker functionality, which means it is suitable for server applications as well as any console application. It supports a user dictionary and run-time switchable main dictionaries.

Options

The customizable options forms provide the user with several spell checking options and the ability to modify the contents of their 'user dictionary' (if activated).

Dict Manager

Technical

3rd Party control support

RapidSpell Desktop provides a simple interface specification which allows 3rd Party Controls to be used with the Dialog checker. This simple mechanism means it is possible to use just about any Control with RapidSpell Desktop, the full product includes an 'adapter' controls for the popular "TX Text Control" (view KB article), DevExpress "XtraGrid" & "MemoExEdit" and Janus' "GridEX" & "EditBox".

Customization

The API was designed to provide for easy customization. The dialog GUIs can be redesigned by simply modifying the UI source code in the VS designer, source is included in the demo projects. The spell checker engine is 'decoupled' from the GUI making it possible to use custom word parsers with the GUI.

Multiple text box checking

The RapidSpellDialog and RapidSpellAsYouType controls can be set to check multiple text boxes on a form, this means that only one instance is used which speeds up design and improves efficiency.
