Spell Checkers for Facebook Chat, Posts and eMail (with pictures)

Summary: Here are two Facebook spell check solutions.  One lets you use your Foxpro Spell check in Facebook, the other is a program that works in any program and on any Internet web site.

AsUType adds a spell checker to any Windows program and is similar to the predictive spell checker on your iPhone or iPad.

AsUType allows you to choose an automatic correction mode which automatically fixes misspellings as you type, or an interactive correction mode that underlines misspelled words and beeps, prompting you to select a corrected spelling from a drop down list that appears near the misspelled word.  The interactive correction mode is much like the predictive text spell checking that’s available on the iPhone and iPad.

AsUType “Speed Typing” Macro Program Helps You Type Faster

Summary: A “Speed Typing” macro is an short abbreviation that you type that is automatically replaced with expanded text, as you type.  For example, you can use a “Speed Typing” macro to add your signature in any Windows program.   You can use a “Speed Typing” macro to automatically type full paragraphs of text for form letters.  The AsUType program lets you use speed typing macros in ANY Windows Program

A “macro” is shorthand you type that is automatically replaced with corresponding expanded text that is retrieved from a macro list on your computer (also known as a “dictionary.”)

Most people are familiar with macros because macros are a feature of the Microsoft Office programs.   Some people use Microsoft Word macros to type just a few characters that will insert their full signatures at the bottom of their MS Word documents.  Some people use Microsoft Excel macros to execute complex functions in Excel spreadsheets.

A disadvantage of MS Word and MS Excel macros is that they only work in MS Word and Excel.   Macros created with AsYouType software work with nearly any Windows program, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and nearly any Internet web site.

AsUType Spell Check program automatically fixes your spelling as you type

Summary: Asutype is a real-time speed typing program that works with any Windows application to automatically correct your spelling, as you type. AsUType helps you type faster and with fewer mistakes. Type faster and look smarter in only 10 minutes.

Most spell check programs work like this: As you type your document, misspelled words appear with a red (sometimes red wavy) underline. You can either correct your spelling mistakes interactively as your spell-check underlines them, or you can start a spell check program and slowly correct mistakes one at a time using a spell-check dialog window. Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to just have your computer fix your most obvious spelling errors for you, automatically, as you type?  That’s what AsUType does.
