Come on Dev give us some real updates so I have a reason to toss more money your way. My lic expired in 2015 and this new minor mystery [eg: undocumented] update isn't going to get me to renew...

Version 1.9.63 released today

v1.9.62

@Midas 'but it only mentions changes in the paid version for this release1'

;-) you hit the nail on the head

v1.9.60

Midas 2015-11-19 14:33

... but it only mentions changes in the paid version for this release.

The freeware still provides English (American or British), French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian support only -- Hunspell compatibility is only available in the paid version.

v1.9.51

Looks like TinySpell v1.9.51 squashed the above minor annoyances.
All together blissfully now: A-Spelling We Shall Go Again...;-)

This otherwise very handy program gets into the annoying habit of reverting to its default configuration for no obvious reason, thereby losing some personal configuration settings, such as:
- Beep sound from local wav file
- Spelling tip size
- ...
Any one else vexed by similar behaviour ?

v1.9.50

Heeding Beeber's & Jake's advice, swapped TinySpell's default beep for a tad more spirited wave.

From my XP configuration, in \Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\, grabbed the "UtopiaCR.wav" file (5824 bytes), promptly renamed Blowfish.wav...;-)

Cheers,

@Midas Toucher: You might be right, but still, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian come way further down that list... :)

V1.9.43

Beeber 2011-06-01 15:43

Great app. Been using Tiny from the beginning. As Jake said, don't use the default 'beep'. I substitute the 'ding' wave...gets my attention every time.

V1.9.40

Ennovy 2011-06-01 07:10

Versie 1.9.40 is for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7

Windows 9* users need to download version 1.9.31

Midas:
Portuguese, although it's the 6th world language by number of speakers, isn't available. Bummer!

Yeah, but to be fair, there is a big drop off after the 5th !

:o)

V1.9.31

Midas 2011-04-01 10:46

No Portuguese support yet. Will it ever? An almost essential freeware shot down by lack of scope... a shame, really. :(

In Firefox, for instance, one can freely download the corresponding spell-checking free addon that's getting updated all the time. Why not use that for a starting wordlist? Just na idea...

V1.9.31

Magibon 2011-03-31 18:11

great software, i used to use payware that had a similar name a few years back.

great addition.

V1.9.31

@Lippo:

it does for me - no problem with Win7 64bit Ultimate under admin rights.

Pity the plus-version doesn't run portably - I'd even pay for it.

Happy New Year to all and Thumbs Up for a great little prog!!!

Lippo 2010-12-27 09:09

The Version 1.9.30 does NOT work in WIndows7/64bit .

Midas 2010-12-17 01:57

Supported languages: English (US & British), French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.

Portuguese, although it's the 6th world language by number of speakers, isn't available. Bummer!

Jake 2010-12-16 07:22

I've been using this excellent utility for many years. Love it! Unsolicited usage advice: Don't use the default beep to alert you of of spelling errors. You'll turn it off in 20 minutes. Instead, find a short, *unique*, slightly irritating sound to alert you of spell bombs. Without the unique 'blurp' sound I use, I would miss a lot of misspelled words. Spell on!

Gmacri 2010-09-01 08:54

This program only check typing on the fly...
Do not correct the spelling of a full or partial document.
I think this is a serious matter.

ja 2010-08-31 19:10

Yes, the TinySpell+ is much better and a great program, BUT not yet portable. I am also waiting for a TinySpell+ portable and also ready to pay for it ...

Technomancer 2009-10-24 18:19

The portable version is great. The 'installable' version should be good. I'm waiting for the 'TinySpell+' to be portable, i'd certainly pay for it.

MadBrozzeR 2009-09-17 19:26

It's really bad that it doesn't use standard hunspell core. It would be great app for me also. Without Russian dictionary it's completely useless here, in Russia.

Portable Paul 2009-09-17 05:31

Great Concept. AutoHotkey can also be configured to autocorrect as you type based on a list of most commonly misspelled words. You can also really easily customize the list with your own favorites. This have anything impressive above alerts?

Mike 2009-09-15 12:45

I love this app! This is a good find.

Ennovy 2009-09-15 06:58

The free version does not automatically switch to another Dictionaire. BUT you can use it by following this procedure:
Download ohter Dictionaires here: http://tinyspell.m6.net/#dictionaries
Close the programm and remove 100.sup en 171.lex form the tinyspell folder. Place the downloaded dictionaire in the folder and rename them to 100.sup and 171.lex. Restart TinySpell and your are ready to go.

dexter dex 2009-09-15 00:01
