RapidSpell Desktop Java v2.2.1

The RapidSpellGUI Bean provides all the usual features, add, change, change all, ignore, ignore all, and smart suggestions. It interactively spell checks ANY JTextComponent derived component such as JEditorPane, JTextPane, JTextArea and JTextField - 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 a user dictionary.

The RapidSpellAsYouType Bean provides as-you-type spell checking with full in-document highlighting in any JTextComponent derived component. RapidSpellAsYouType highlights spelling errors as they are typed/pasted/edited, providing suggestions in a right-click context menu.

The nonGUI Bean provides core spell checker functionality suitable for deep integration, user interface rewrites or console applications. It has been clocked at 50,000 words/sec on a basic 1GHz PC. The main dictionary may be customized or created from scratch with our free Dict Manager tool.

RapidSpell includes Dict Manager free, which allows complete customization of the dictionaries.

RapidSpell has built-in multi-lingual support, offering the GUI in several languages. Multiple non English language dictionaries are available.

The API was designed to provide for easy customization. The GUI can be redesigned by simply extending its class and overriding the design method (an example of this is included). The spell checker engine is 'decoupled' from the GUI making it possible to use custom word parsers with the GUI.

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

The non GUI component provides core functionality and ease of use - you pass the text you want spell checked and then iterate through each misspelled word finding suggestions and correcting as you go. You have access to the corrected text at any time.

Dict Manager, allows RapidSpell Dict files to be customized and created using other word lists.

The Beans are loadable into any IDE or RAD tool that supports JavaBeans.

Two powerful suggestions engines are used to find good suggestions for words, including an exclusive 'sounds-like' algorithm.

RapidSpell Desktop was designed to JDK 1.2.2 spec and supports any version after that.
