The Notepad program has been the part of all versions of Windows operating system ever since its introduction with Windows 1.0, back in 1995. While Microsoft has enhanced and overhauled most of the areas of Windows operating system in the recent versions of Windows, the Notepad program hasn’t seen much love from the developers at Microsoft.

Because of this reason, a number of free third-party programs have surfaced over the last couple of years to replace the native Notepad. Notepad++, as you probably know, is one of the popular and widely used Notepad alternatives.

While Notepad is good to quickly take some notes, it lacks many features and spell check is one of them.

If you often use Notepad and miss the spell check feature every time you use it, we recommend you either install Microsoft Office Word or other free alternatives (there are plenty). But if you are in love with Notepad or WordPad for some reason and would love have spell check feature in these programs for free, tinySpell (yes, tinySpell) is the ideal software for you.

TinySpell: Get spelling check in Notepad & WordPad

tinySpell is a free program (paid version is also available with more features) designed to help you get spell check feature in all Windows applications, including WordPad and Notepad. In addition to that, tinySpell service is available when you’re renaming a file and searching for a file using Windows Explorer search. Tiny Spell alerts you when you misspell a word and offers suggestions as well.

UPDATE in July 2018: If you are on Windows 10, you can get auto-correct feature for any program by turning on auto-correct misspelled words feature.
