Spell Check Your Website: What's The Best Way

[Siamese-Dream.Com]

It's come to my attention that our site has plenty of typos, and that it would be a good idea to spell check our web site.

So, what's the best way to spell check a site?

Export to flat files and spell check in excel?

Is there an online spell checker that works well?

A module?

Any help would be appreciated.

I find firefox to be very easy and helpful in that area:

Yup. However, I am looking for a more global solution, because using the firefox solution means going to every page, opening up the description in FireFox, then scrolling down and looking to see if there are any spelling errors.

So if there is a more scalable option, that would be preferable.

I would be interested in any other solutions also, I use Firefox for the first run threw and then export the products in large chunks and go threw them in Microsoft WORD to make sure I have complete sentences and correct punctuation etc. and them import them back to the store.

Yeah, that's a possibility. Thanks for the tip.

It's just that if you have any html in your descriptions, then that can be a little problematic.

I guess that I am looking for something like Xenu, which crawls a site looking for broken links, but only one that would crawl for spelling errors.

You'd still need to go to each data source and correct. Probably more efficient to export everything, open it in a good text editor/or excel (i use TextPad) and run spell check from there. TextPad will ignore html, or ignore UPPER CASE, so you might be able to fool it by switching all you codes to UPPER case, then running spell check.

Thanks for the tip, Bruce:

I use NotePad++ but for some reason I have been having trouble getting the spell check to work in it.
