Amazing performance

Checks spelling at over 25,000 words per second — this means less server CPU time processing spelling requests, so your server has more time available to perform other tasks. Plus, your clients get their results faster.

Multiple clients

Spellex Spelling Server handles requests from multiple clients simultaneously, with no fixed limit on the number of concurrent clients.

No blocking required

Spellex Spelling Server's design supports current spelling-check requests from multiple clients with no need for internal or external locking or semaphores and no need for session- or client-level initialization. This means higher throughput for faster turn-around time.

High-quality dictionaries included

Spellex Spelling Server comes with a superb 115,000-word American English and 120,000-word UK English dictionary with comprehensive coverage of general words, contractions, abbreviations, and capitalized proper names. Words in the dictionary have been carefully selected to provide complete coverage of average English vocabulary and minimize spurious error reports.

Frequent updates

If you or your client requires a leading edge, up-to-date dictionary for medical terms, a Spell-X-Plus subscription is just the cure. This one of a kind subscription service will keep your dictionary updated and allow you to keep pace with the latest words in medicine.

Multilingual

Each spelling request can check spelling in a different language. Dictionaries in 11 Western European languages, plus medical and legal supplements, are available separately from Spellex Software.

User dictionary

Clients can add their own words to a user dictionary at run-time. Words in the user dictionary may be offered as suggestions for misspelled words.

Custom dictionaries

You can create custom dictionaries containing application-specific words and make them available for use by all clients.

Intelligent suggestions for misspelled words

Spellex Spelling Server can locate suggested replacements using typographical (looks like) matching, phonetic (sounds like) matching, or both. Suggestions are returned in order of decreasing probability of correctness. The first offered suggestion is usually the correct replacement for words containing a single error.

Case sensitive

Incorrect capitalization (e.g., canada instead of Canada) can be reported as a misspelling. Case sensitivity can be disabled if necessary via a simple run-time option setting. Dictionaries included with Spellex Spelling Server contain correct capitalization forms.

Auto correct

Spellex Spelling Server can automatically or conditionally correct common misspellings (e.g., replace recieve with receive). A dictionary containing hundreds of common English misspellings and their correct replacements is included. Abbreviations can also be expanded using this feature — e.g., replace MS with Microsoft.

Doubled word detection

Spellex Spelling Server can detect repeated words (e.g., Paris in the the spring).

Example applications included

VBScript source code for example applications are included that demonstrate typical uses of a Web-based spelling checker.
