What is Spell Catcher 1.5.6?

Thunder 7 was a great utility — a universal spell checker, thesaurus, and glossary. Spell Catcher, its rebadged rewrite, doesn’t offer many significant new features, but the interface has been tweaked; it comes with legal, medical, engineering/ scientific, and HTML dictionaries that used to cost extra, and new tools e-mailers will appreciate. Most significantly, Spell Catcher is noticeably faster on Power Macs, though it still isn’t native.

Spell Catcher works much as any spell-check program does, except interactively. It watches as you type and beeps when it detects a misspelling, incorrect capitalization, double word, or punctuation error. Spell Catcher quickly searches its dictionaries (the main one contains 90,000 words) and displays possible corrections. Type the number that corresponds to the correction you want, and bingo, it’s changed in your document. Add it to the glossary, and it’s there for future corrections. Suspect words are shown in context, making it easy to tell if they’re actually in error. Most useful for heavy e-mail users are the Quote and Form Paragraphs features. When replying to e-mail, the Quote module adds carets (or other characters — your choice) to the beginning of each line, so that the recipient knows to what you are referring. For cleaning up incoming messages, the Form Paragraphs function is invaluable because it easily removes hard carriage returns at the end of each line of text, allowing for proper formatting in word processors.

It’s disappointing that this version doesn’t contain more new features, but the improved Power Mac performance alone makes upgrading worthwhile.
