Empower InstaSpell has moved out of beta into version 1.0. This new version brings some really nice new interface features to InstaSpell. Make sure to use the new links above since the old ones in previous posts will take you to an older version. My favorite features are the new red underlining for misspelled words and the ability to import names of people into the spelling dictionary. The full list of new features are listed below (Courtesy of Empower):

  • Misspelled words are highlighted RED in mail compose
  • Bulk spell checking in appointments. (requested by Tony twice)
  • Contractions are better supported. (requested by Tony)
  • Import names of people and company from address book. Now this is a clever idea because the moment I type ‘Hi Ron’, Ron will no longer be marked as misspelled. Contacts & friends don’t get underlined as incorrect – significant because this is something that user will type almost always his emails.
  • Conversation text is no more underlined in messenger.
  • Fix bug that stuck GTalk & Yahoo chat when sending a URL.

Check it out at the download links above. Make sure to use the new links above since the old ones in previous posts will take you to an older version. Stay tuned for a review once the stable version of 1.0 is released.

    [...] InstaSpell has been around for quite awhile now but after RIM came out with a free native spell checker I thought it would be irrelevant. Now that [...]

    I just installed InstaSpell on my 8830. It deleted ALL of my text messages (over 300) and was working on deleting my e-mails from all of the accounts before I was able to get it stop (doing whatever it was doing). I'm waiting on a reply from the company as to why this happened and how to recover the messages. I'm also trying to contact my service provider for the same assistance, but after the download, my calls continue to drop within the first two minutes (while I'm still on hold waiting for a representative). I'll keep the everyone update with whatever happens, but if you download the software – BEWARE!
