It even allows you to spell-check in the caption info boxes of Photoshop, Photo Mechanic and yup, even SportsShooter message board posts. They also have special site license prices for educational institutions. Don't leave home without it.

Unfortunately, my typos seem to be actual words more often than you'd expect from random chance. But, still, a pass through the spellchecker is wise.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
