When the spellchecker starts it adds its icon to the notification area of the task bar where you usually see the current time displayed. This icon is one of the primary ways you can access IMSpellchecker XP's many controls and settings. When you right-click on IMSpellchecker XP's icon you get its context sensitive menu.

Using this menu you can promptly:

• enable or disable spell checking and autocorrection features for Instant Messengers;
• choose handy corrections mode;
• open spellchecker main window with various program's settings;
• open program's help file;
• visit program's order page and register the spellchecker;
• e-mail to technical support and visit program's web site.

IMSpellchecker can handle misspellings using one of the three correction modes. This feature allows users with different level of typing experience use the program with maximum convenience and performance.

1. Manual.
   When the manual mode is selected spellchecker simple underline possible misspelling, using wavy red line. You can right-click on the underlined word to get the list of the suggestions or add it to custom dictionary or to the ignore list.
2. Intelligent.
   In the intelligent mode, when you have typed misspelling, the program tries to find the best suggestion and replaces misspelled word automatically. If there is no suggestion for the misspelling, spellchecker just underline it with wavy red line.
3. Interactive.
   In this mode, if you have typed misspelled word, spellchecker displays the popup window with list of the suggestions. You can select right word from the list immediately. Also, you can add misspelled word to custom dictionary or to the ignore list.
   The small disadvantage of this mode is interrupting of your typing process by popup window.

When the spellchecker works in the interactive mode or you have right-clicked on the underlined word, the program displays popup window. You can select replacement for the misspelled word, add it to the custom dictionary or to the ignore list.

Autocorrecting technology replaces common known typos on-the-fly, increasing your typing speed.
It uses a list of built-in corrections to detect and correct typos, misspelled words, and common symbols. For example, if you type teh plus a space, then Autocorrection replaces what you have typed with "the".
You can also use Autocorrection to quickly insert symbols that are included in the built-in list of Autocorrection entries. For example, type (c) to insert ©.
If the list of built-in entries doesn't contain the corrections that you want, you can add entries.
Another usefull features are capitalizing the first letter in the sentence, correcting accidental use of CAPS LOCK key and two initial caps.
