A spell checker as a Perl script can be downloaded here: Perl Spell Checker. I published some books of poetry and I live in Europe, Slovakia; I also write and sell computer articles and I have a website: FreeBSD and OpenBSD
Some words are like pearls and decorations are indispensable for our daily lives sometimes. Perl, unlike other programming languages, has that advantage that it is a very good tool if used for text editing. It makes miracles.
One day I decided to make my own spell checker, but the one that would be unlike all other spell checkers. I mean a spell checker with power to save all unknown words to a file if compared against a dictionary of my choice.
If you have a lot of foreign words in a text of about several hundred pages and decide to spell check the whole document in MS Word, for example, you will be clicking on the Add button for quite a long time. I wrote such a Perl script and chose a free Windows version of Perl2Exe Lite, a command line program for converting Perl scripts to executable files (EXE) - just Google the word Perl2Exe to visit its homepage.
Some Perl scripts similar to the one I made can be found on the Internet, but if you have no luck, look at the link in my Bio and download the text file "Perl Spell Checker" at the top of the particular website. Although I did not write this one, it does the same job as the one I programmed.
You will find many other freely available Perl scripts on the Internet. You may convert them to EXE files without restraint with Perl2Exe in Windows even in case you do not wish to learn the Perl programming language. The size of EXE files in the Lite version of Perl2Exe is about 600 KB.
In case you want to have the complex Perl environment in Windows, you can download free versions of Perl like Indigo Perl, ActivePerl for Windows. However, Perl2Exe is a little bit simpler for users not experienced with Perl and its Lite version is free.
You have a script - spell.txt in my case. If you use Perl2Exe, you will produce the file spell.exe.
The Lite version of Perl2Exe is not time limited; however, Perl2Exe Pro version has more features not available in the Lite version - that is, for example, it can generate very small EXE files, etc.
The benefit of Perl2Exe is that you will easily use any Perl script in Windows. There are software databases on the Internet with thousands of freely available scripts. So start surfing and give it a try!
