gSpell uses Google to offer spelling recommendations.
Google's spell checker boasts an extensive database of statistical data, making it more accurate than traditional desktop spell checkers. In fact, it even corrects formal names and colloquialisms that are not yet included in traditional spell checkers.
Developed as a final project for a UC Berkeley seminar in 2005, gSpell is a reliable tool for anyone looking to improve their writing. To use, simply log out and log back in, select any questionable text, and press Cmd+Shift to receive a spelling suggestion from Google.
Overall, gSpell is an exceptional service for anyone struggling with spelling errors on their Mac OS X. With its accuracy and ease of use, it's a must-have for any writer or student.
