    Is there a text editor which enables real-time spell checking like the rich tech editor in Gmail or even typing anything using Firefox? is there a Notepad++ plugin?

    Yes, but it's not compatible right now with the latest version of Notepad++

    Just press ALT+A combo to toggle spell check in notepad++.

    Spell check for Internet Explorer?
  • benrwb

    Are there any spell-check plugins available for Internet Explorer?

    I know that Chrome and Firefox have this built-in, but I wondered if anything similar was available for IE?

    (Specifically I'm looking for the "red wavy underline" spellcheck-as-you-type feature.)

    ieSpell -- but its last update seems to be in 2006!
    But, ieSpell 2.5.1 build 106, shows over 10K downloads in the last week.

    I'm not sure you'll find the "as you type" for IE, but in addition to the previously mentioned ieSpell, the Google Toolbar also has a spell checker.
