RapidSpell Web provides a spelling component to add spell check functionality to your web applications, by simply adding the Web Control to an aspx page (Web Form) or directly accessing the classes in a code behind page.

There are no programming skills required to use RapidSpell Web, making it accessible to ASP.NET page designers, with strong visual designer (VS) design time support. The UI provides all the usual features, add, change, change all, ignore, ignore all, and smart suggestions.

The RapidSpellWInline control provides Windows style in-text-box highlighting, with editable text box support for modern browsers and static 'overlay' support for older browsers.

It interactively checks any HTML text box component such as "textarea" and "input type='text'" and 3rd Party controls, such as RichTextBox(tm). The spell checker UI features an advanced preview pane to interactively highlight errors (with no post back). The spell checker accepts manual corrections, and also supports user dictionaries (either one dictionary for all users or separate user dictionaries).

The included non GUI component provides core spell checker functionality at the middleware level, which means it is suitable for server applications as well as any console application. It has been clocked at 70,000 words/sec on a standard 1GHz PC.

RapidSpell Web works in both Internet Explorer and Netscape, because it uses only HTML and Javascript on the web browser, this also means there are no special requirements, no long downloads, like with some spell checker Web Controls.

It is easy to use RapidSpell Web as a Web Control in an aspx page or programmatically in code behind, either way full customisation of style, layout and properties is possible. Using a simple HTML template mechanism it is also possible to layout the spell checker as you wish, including branding. All dictionaries (main and user's) are stored on the server, yet the user's spell checking experience is not hampered by any post-backs to the server, because there are none.

RapidSpell Web functions in one of two modes, 'popup' - which open's a small console window with the spell checker in it or in 'separate' - which loads the spell checker in the main window on a separate page, there are no restrictions with either of these modes.

Two powerful suggestions engines can be used to find good suggestions for words, including an exclusive 'sounds-like' algorithm. RapidSpell Web was designed to .NET 1.0 specification and supports legacy browsers, Internet Exporer (IE) 5+ and Netscape (NS) 6+.
