Application file:

SpellTools is a universal spelling checker for a classic Mac OS. Its usefulness becomes apparent when used with programs without a built-in spelling checker. Such as; SimpleText, BBEdit Lite, HyperCard, RagTime Solo, etc.

SpellTools can also read back text audibly using the Mac's built-in voices - great for grammar checking. It also has a Text Stamper, an Internet Garbage Character Stripper, Find and Replace, and other useful features.

Archived as Disk Copy 6.3 image and compressed as StuffIt 5.5 ".sit" archive.

Compatibility:

SpellTools requirements:
• System Software version 7.5 or later
• At least 8 MB of RAM
• At least 1 MB of available disk space

- If you want to use SpellTools on Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2.2, then you must install v1.3.3 first, then install the v1.4 update, before using SpellTools. Version 1.3.3 is incompatible with Mac OS 9.x

Note: There are only spelling dictionaries for US English included. AFAIK there are no other language dictionaries available for this software.
