How do I use Spellex Spelling Server on my Web site?

You add a spell checker to your Web site by adding VBScript code to ASP pages on your site. The VBScript code calls Spellex Spelling Server (running on your server computer) to check the spelling of text entered in HTML forms. Example ASP pages are included with Spellex Spelling Server.

What's the difference between Spellex Spelling Server and the Spellex Windows SDK

Spellex Spelling Server was designed specifically for use on high-traffic servers, where multiple clients make simultaneous spelling requests. Features such as shared dictionaries and a stateless API make this possible without sacrificing performance. The Spellex SDK product, on the other hand, was designed for use in desktop applications where it would be accessed within at most a few concurrent threads. Spellex SDK is recommended for use on low- to medium-traffic Web sites only.
