The Java Open Source Spell Checker
What exactly is Jazzy? Well, for developers, it is a set of APIs (Application
Programming Interfaces) that allow you to add spell checking functionality
to Java Applications easily. For end-users, Jazzy does not do too much besides
spell check things you paste into an applet. Eventually, I plan to create
an applet that would be suitable for use in HTML forms that will allow the
user to spell check a html textarea before submitting.
