On-device, As-you-type, Universal spell check on BlackBerry!
July 27th, 2007
“What?!” You ask. The title of this post is too …
Well, that’s the beauty of Empower InstaSpell.
1. Universal: Empower InstaSpell is made to be universal! That means it will do spell check for you not only in emails but also in SMS, Notes, Tasks, Memo etc. And if it works in 3rd party apps also; yahoo messenger, Gtalk, etc. etc. you know who to blame - Us! 
2. As-you-type: InstaSpell detects incorrect words as-soon-as you type them. You don’t need to type everything and then do a spell check. That is an option there if you want it. But mostly its as-you-type that will make you smile - its instantaneous! 
3. On-device: Fully on-device. Unlike server-based checking where the whole text is sent to server, InstaSpell is fully on-device. This real advantage is not that it saves my data usage on every email. The real importance of on-device spell check is for privacy reasons - both my business and personal emails stay with me.

Please install InstaSpell first and then the Dictionary. Once both are installed you will see a cute ‘abc’ icon on your HomeScreen. Open it, and click on Install button to Index the dictionary. Indexing is important to increase the lookup speed, and takes about 30 sec to complete. Once indexing is over, you will see some stats like - Word Count. Tick the Enable SpellCheck and exit.
