Are there any spell check programs for Esperanto?

Preferably, free resources. I am stuck with a job in fast food, so I can't afford to buy ANYTHING!

Peace,

I don't know of any for word processors (although I assume that if you use OpenOffice you can find an Esperanto spellcheck dictionary for it - open source programs seem to support Esperanto much more often than commercial packages do).

In the world of FireFox, you can definitely get an Esperanto spellcheck add-on/extension that will allow you to switch between your language of choice and Esperanto and spell check whatever you are typing into a textbox in FireFox (much like I'm doing now - I currently have the language set to Esperanto, due to an earlier post in this forum, and practically every word in THIS text box has a red line under it).

Danko! I installed the dictionary for FireFox, and it does seem to work. Thanks!!!

I see that you have the FF dictionary installed.
I can attest that OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org can do Esperanto spell checking (there even used to be an EO interface for it); I have used it in the past when sending out messages in Esperanto. Abi Word http://www.abisource.com/ has an EO spell checker that you can download - it's not a full office suite, just a word processor. Both OpenOffice and Abi Word use the OpenDocument format, but can read/write to MS Office documents.
Oh, all of these are free - I love open source.

waxle:What's the name of the Firefox extention that lets you do this?
Go to this page and click on the "Install" link for the eo-eo dictionary.
