This is strong, I recommend downloading and installing this small spelling correction program because it really works very well. In general, when I have to report programs of this type, useful but not indispensable, I never unbalance myself in enthusiastic comments, but this time it goes to cover a function that is absent on today's computers, at least in a general sense. When it comes to correcting the spelling of text written on the computer, the first thing that comes to mind is the proofreader of Microsoft Word and Office programs in general, including the Microsoft Outlook email clients.
For all the other programs there is no correction of the Italian spelling and, above all, it is not when you write on the text field of a website (like the comments below) or if you write a txt file with the notepad. Here comes the TinySpell program, free and absolutely automatic for any program that is opened on Windows, with a real-time correction, that is, errors are notified at the time of writing.

TinySpell is in two versions, one normal and free, the other, Tinyspell +, which costs around 10 Dollars. The main limitation of the free version of Tinyspell is that it can correct text written in one language which, by default, is English. However, with a simple trick, nothing prevents you from changing the English language to the Italian language in order to have the Italian vocabulary in memory.
After downloading the normal version of TinySpell, you must also download the Italian dictionary .
Tinyspell should be installed normally but initially not open.
To enable the correction in Italian, you must go to the installation folder in C: \ programs and rename the two files: 100.SUP and 171.LEX putting the names 100_ingl.SUP and 171_ingl.LEX so as to remember that those represent the vocabulary of English words (and rehabilitate them whenever you want).
Now, from the .zip file with the Italian language, extract the contents, copy the two files 600.SUP and 671.LEX, into the folder of the Tinyspell program, and rename them to 100.SUP and 171.LEX so the program will not notice of the change.
After starting TinySpell you can right-click on the icon in the taskbar near the clock and access the options ( settings ).
From here you can decide how a spelling mistake should be notified and the color with which it should appear, the size of the box that notifies the wrong word and the time it must remain on the screen. By default, startup with Windows is also enabled so as to always remain in the background; the process takes less than 1 MB in memory so it's really light.
Trying to write on a text file or on the internet browser, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera or whatever you want, you will notice, just as you write, in real time, that by mistaking a word the icon at the bottom turns yellow and the error automatically reported somewhere on the screen. If the word is correct but not yet included in the vocabulary, it can be saved by pressing the yellow icon with the left mouse button and adding it. With the same operation you can read the suggestions to correctly write that word.
The only limitation that the free version of Tinyspell has is that only one vocabulary can be enabled at a time therefore, each English word will be seen as an error because it is not recognized and must be added manually.
If you do not want to check spelling in real time for a program (such as on Chat Messenger, on Google Chrome which already has its own spelling checker or something else), just open the program with the right mouse button on the TinySpell icon and select the " Applications " item. The active program will already be recognized so just press Add and then Ok to disable the correction.
For the rest, it does everything by itself, starts on its own and is enabled every time you write any text field with the keyboard.
If you need a quick-use spelling checker, you can go to the Spelling Corrector site, choose the Italian language and then paste the text whose errors you want to correct.
As a spelling checker on the web browser when writing on the internet, you can use the Firefox extension of the Italian Dictionary while on Chrome the spelling correction is already enabled and automatic even for the Italian language.
A new excellent free program that works as a spell checker and word prompter is EType.
