Website spell checking with TextTrust

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

Hello!

some time ago I stumbled across TextTrust who perform website spell checking as their service.

They claim that their results are improved by reviewing the results by humans. Although their price point seems reasonable to me so I decided to try their services. I ordered their TextTrust Express package which costs about 30 USD for sites with less than 250 pages.

I had some issues with their website. For example their software was confused when I entered the URL of our site with http-prefix. And when I wanted to retrieve the results from their server I received only an error message. But their support stuff promptly and quickly helped to provide us the results of the check. And it was well worth the effort, they found 12 errors although our website has been proofread and each pages text has been checked with Microsoft Words spell checker. They although covered things which are sometimes not so visible that the actual page content, in particular the page title. I'm sure they have solved the problems with their software in the mean time and I really can recommend their service (no, I'm not affiliated with them, just a satisfied customer Smile).

Best regards,

Andreas
