What other spell checker's would be good to help with spelling errors on CapTalk.net.

If you use Firefox, it has one built in.  It will underline the misspelled words in red.  You just right-click on them and it will pull up a list of recommendations.

If you use Google Chrome, it has one built in.  It will underline the misspelled words in red.  You just right-click on them and it will pull up a list of recommendations.

You can type your response in a word processing software, like Microsoft Word and use those.  Word, for example, even has a grammar check in case you spelled a word correctly, but used it incorrectly.

Just a few recommendations.

 Safari also has one built in to it. You can download a version for windows.

CAP Talk even has one built right in.

(Hint: It's right next to the 'Post' and 'Preview' buttons)

Which does not work in Internet Exploiter/Exploder unless you use Quick Reply.  And more than likely the people who would use it are also using IE.

But keep in mind that a spelling checker and most grammar checkers will not differentiate between correctly spelled but misused words. Examples: its and it's; their, there, they're; were, where, ware, wear, we're; and lastly for now, your and you're.
