GoogieSpell Contrib Package

GoogieSpell is an online spell checker based on the Google spell checker service. It's interface is Ajax based and feels a lot like the Google Toolbar spell checker. This Contrib Package integrates the GoogieSpell into TWiki edit forms.

Detailed Documentation

If you are behind a corporate firewall then you may have a concern about sending out content to Google to get spell checked. So, there is an implemented "aspell" shim, which handles the same XML request as google, and translates the output into the same Google format. This makes the GoogieSpell? package work fine with the standard edit and it provides the opportunity of including specialized dictionaries.
