Opera Spell check


Recommended Posts

Found this on Opera forums few days ago, felt it needed coverage here on neowin too.

...works as specified and pretty well.

edit: Spell check ver 2 (now works inline instead of popping up a new window)

edit2: Version 3.5 (if it can be called that, now gives the option to choose between Google's dictionary [requires sign in] and the Orangoo dictionary)

I would install it, but I don't use spell check even when I have it :( But from what I can tell it looks great! Nice find!

Yes, many FF extensions can be reproduced using some form of UserJS/UserCSS and toolbar buttons. Not all of the functions can be reproduced, but many of them can.

I for one would still like to see an API if only to make it easier on the end-users. And maybe Opera officially continuing the task that userjs.org has had to stop. :cry:

I can't get it to work. I put it in a folder in my Opera profile, then set tools/preferences/advanced/content/javascript options/user java script files to that folder. Restarted Opera and it seems to do nothing. Can someone help me get it working? This is the only feature I really miss from Firefox.

Edit: NM, got it working :p
