Bill_Bright Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I just composed an email in Gmail and did not have any problems with delays or freezing. Speckie did not work in Gmail, but it did not interfere either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 @Bill_Bright, Speckie not working in Gmail is a bug I introduced in the current Beta, I'll have it fixed in the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk999 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'll look in to it. I know that Speckie in the latest beta does not work in Gmail. I am still using 1.60. Thanks for looking into it Mauro. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Beta v1.6.3 is available, you can also follow me on twitter to get easy notifications of new releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Bright Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 If you would turn on email notifications, we could subscribe to the beta forum and get email notifications. That's what I would prefer. Nothing against Neowin, but it seems that's where this topic should be happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 @Bill_Bright, my forum didn't have the feature to subscribe to forum categories, so I installed a mod that allows it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexalex Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Does Speckie support spellchecking in other languages beside English, like Firefox and Chrome ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel_rh Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Does Speckie support spellchecking in other languages beside English, like Firefox and Chrome ? Yep, it has a that will take you to the next linkt: http://www.speckie.com/dicts/ Just open the dictionaty you want to install it once Speckie is installed.

Bill_Bright Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 IeSpell Checker That's not the point of this thread. IESpell is nice checker, but its main draw back is it is not real-time. You must right-click and select Check Spelling. Not so with a real-time checker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Speckie was featured in the French site Clubic.com : http://www.clubic.com/telecharger-fiche378944-speckie.html Their review is, basically, "IE9 has no spellcheck, here's one, it supports many languages, it's easy to use, it's great". I don't know if you like the fact they're hosting the file on their own download servers, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Veteran Posted March 18, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 18, 2011 I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this bug, but once I installed speckie, webpages took longer to load. About 5-7 seconds in some cases, visiting any site, from Google to here. Normally they pop up in a fraction of a second. After disabling speckie everything was good again. Using Win7 64 bit with IE9 RTM. Other than that, it is a great add-on, nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Speckie support spellchecking in other languages beside English, like Firefox and Chrome ? Yes, you can set the dictionary to use from the context menu. IeSpell Checker My first Troll on neowin, yay! its a problem some of us reported in the first few pages on this topic. we have 64bit ie 9, and download the 64bit installer, after installing nothing shows up in ie addons, and so on. But if we download the all in one one it works just fine. btw paul thurrott mentioned your program on windows weeekly. some advertisement there :D Congrats on that :D I'll have to keep digging at this one, I'm finding it difficult to reproduce. Stoked at being mentioned by Paul Thurrott ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Elі Subscriber² Posted March 18, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted March 18, 2011 Mauro, a suggestion, on the Speckie download page, next to the latest version number you should include the release date, as reference point so we know whether one has the latest version; just an idea, thanks!

mauro Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ely, Speckie has a new version notification, it opens the http://www.speckie.com/changes page in a new tab when a new version is available. Note you can get Beta versions at http://www.speckie.com/beta but I don't push notifications for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems most problems with IE slowing down (when malware and other causes have been ruled out) is a wayward add-on, or add-ons not playing well together. Often, just reinstalling the add-ons help.

Note you can get Beta versions at http://www.speckie.com/beta but I don't push notifications for those. Would it be possible to have an option to allow beta notifications? I like to use the latest stuff (or at least be notified), so having this as an option would be handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DonC Subscriber² Posted March 19, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am betting however, that IE X (10) will have spell check built in. I don't think they can ignore it much longer. I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauro Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Another Beta is out the door: http://bit.ly/gs10cW Those of you who have experienced an issue with the 64bit MSI installer, it's been updated in the Beta, give it a go and let me know how it goes. Thanks guys & girls :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk999 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 No dictionairies in Version 1.6.4.0 ? And there is no Tools| Speckie menu as far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Bright Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Never again speckie, never again. :angry: I don't see where that is fair. Sure, we all want everything to work perfectly and as expected every single time but that's not reality. Now some makers tell consumers off and are not receptive to criticism. mauro has bent over backwards to address issues quickly with this new and unique product - which for most of us, works perfectly.

Raa Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 That's also not to say it wasn't another addon causing the problem, not Speckie. Only a couple of users have reported slowdowns, which makes me think it's not Speckie related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
