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:

Just open the dictionaty you want to install it once Speckie is installed.

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.

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!

I'll look in to this, thanks for letting me know.

Yes, you can set the dictionary to use from the context menu.

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 !

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!

You might disable any other add-ons and see what happens. 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.

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.

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!

I'll see if I can get it in, I'm just trying to resolve a bug and adding a configuration page at the moment.

Thank you for posting, I had the same Issue on my system. (Windows 7 - 64 bit - IE9)

After I removed speckie the browser was good again.

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.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
