Problems with the Spell Checker
that Comes with FoxPro |
Foxspell's Solution |
|
Redistribution |
| The spell checker that comes with FoxPro for Windows and VFP cannot be distributed with your .APP or .EXE file. |
Foxspell Checker can be distributed royalty-free with your application |
| Uses |
| It can only spell check memos and only in a separate window |
Foxspell Checker can check memos in windows as well as in text edit regions, character fields, ASCII
text files or any string variable. Foxspell checker can also automatically check a field when the user
exits, check every field in the current record or the entire table. This simply cannot be done with the built-in
checker. |
| Capacity |
| It limits the number of words you can add to its dictionary. If your user exceeds the limit, they will get an out of memory error. |
Foxspell Checker has unlimited word capacity. You can add as many words as you like. |
| Quality of Suggestions |
| It has an adequate word suggestion system |
Foxspell Checker has a new suggestion system that even beats the professional word processors. It can suggest words based on their sound or lexical pattern and can easily deal with transposed characters (e.g., "teh" for "the"). |
| Word Quantity |
| It has fewer than 100,000 words |
FoxSpell Checker has more than twice as many words, including many scientific, technical, legal and medical terms. |
| Look & Feel |
| Its user interface cannot be changed |
Foxspell checker can be customized to match your application because it is written in 100% FoxPro with full source code included. |
