The free version (tinySpell) includes basic on-the-fly and clipboard checking, a custom dictionary, and online lookups. The paid version (tinySpell+) adds Hunspell dictionaries for multiple languages, auto-replacements, a clipboard spell checker that shows all errors at once, dictionary import/export for backup and network sync, automatic dictionary switching by language, and additional online services like translation. Both variants are available as installed or portable versions.
