VOVSOFT - Website Spell Checker

Spelling mistakes on a webpage look highly unprofessional and only prove a lack of attention to detail, so it’s only normal that you don’t want your visitor to see them. While you can also check all the texts manually or use an application to carry out the task, there are also dedicated proofing tools that you can use and one of them is suggestively called VOVSOFT - Website Spell Checker.

With the help of this application, you can easily detect typos in the text of your website to make sure the content is spelled correctly. What this application does is crawl the pages of your website and detect unknown words, marking them as spelling mistakes.

The main window of VOVSOFT - Website Spell Checker allows you to enter the desired URL and choose the language of the text to check (dialects of English only). The application can be configured to scan subdomains as well.

There are a few options to deal with, although they are hidden by default. Clicking the “Show Options” button reveals them all. At this point, you can change the internal URL limit, which instructs VOVSOFT - Website Spell Checker to stop crawling your website at a certain point. Both the connection timeout and the response time can be changed. There are multiple user agent configurations you can choose from. VOVSOFT - Website Spell Checker allows you to ignore certain types of files when crawling a page. Also, you can configure it to ignore URLs altogether.

All the unknown words are shown in a list, where you can easily copy any of them to the clipboard and run spell checking against a dictionary. On the downside, there is no dictionary to customize, so the application will not be able to recognize any new words.

There are various spelling tools for proofreading texts, from standalone desktop tools to simple browser addons. Some might be easier to use, others might not cater to your needs. Surely an application such as VOVSOFT - Website Spell Checker can be of help in correcting spelling errors, but the truth is that it is not the most convenient solution. The lack of a customizable dictionary, the outdated GUI and the impossibility of providing text suggestions are some of its drawbacks.
