Windows: Most office suites and word processors have spell-check built in, but if you're working in a tool like Notepad, Wordpad, a web browser, or another tool that won't automatically check your spelling, tinySpell is a Windows utility that'll cover your bases.

The beauty of tinySpell is that it watches any text you enter in any field in just about any application, whether it's a web browser, a code editor, or your favorite chat app that may not alert you to spelling mistakes. It beeps when it detects an error, and you right-click to choose the word you meant to type. You can configure it to beep and show you a spelling tip when it detects an error, or just change its taskbar icon color to let you know it found an error. It'll also check the spelling of any text you copy to the clipboard. You can whitelist specific apps so tinySpell won't check your spelling in them (again, like your code editor), and there's a built in dictionary and thesaurus.

It's also a portable app, if you want to toss it on a USB drive or in Dropbox and run it anywhere you go.
