Comprehensive multilingual spellchecker for Firefox

There are plenty of dictionary add-ons for Firefox, but users who spend a lot of time online might be looking for more comprehensive help. If you are, SpellBound is a great option. This add-on comes with American English pre-selected, but it uses the spell-checking power of other Firefox dictionaries so you can make sure your writing is word-perfect in any language.

When you write online, say in a forum or blog, you can access SpellBound by right-clicking on the text. The SpellBound interface opens up, displaying the text, any mistakes and some standard spellchecking options, such as Ignore or Add To Dictionary. You can switch between the languages you have installed, make your own changes or edit your custom dictionary.

Anybody who has ever used a standard offline spellchecker will have no problem using SpellBound. It features all the normal features and is very easy to use. There are a few configuration options - accessed through Tools > Add-ons > SpellBound - that allow you to add new dictionaries or change the font and color of spellchecked words. It's true that there are several spellcheckers for Firefox that do a similar job in a smaller space, but if you spend a lot of time online, the extra functionality of SpellBound will come in very uselful.

SpellBound is a good spellchecker for frequent online writers.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
