Looking for corrector programs

wandering_spirit · 07-01-2013

Over a year and a half, I worked up a story which spans for nearly 650 pages, but I need help reviewing and correcting it. The big issue I have right now is finding a decent program to correct my text, which is split in 70 or so sections.

Does anyone know of a good correction tool I can download to fix this?

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to assemble a single output file first, as spell-checking multiple files in notLinux is a pain in the ass.

I know. Once I have time... and I find my USB key with the first 20 sections, I'll work on it.

You might be able to get away with the Win32 port of GNU Aspell (aspell.net).

Give it a shot and let us know if it does what you need!
