Visual Studio 2013 spell checker

Question

I have dyslexia and am starting my first collaborative project with other students using the IDE Visual Studio 2013. I fear that my miss spellings may cause errors and annoyance to the rest of the team, so I wish to keep my spelling mistakes to a minimum.

Projects on which I work alone are less of a problem, as if I spell the word wrong I tend to spell it wrong throughout the program in the same way - but I feel I would still get use out of a spell checker for these too.

I have had a google but only found a few plugins, most of which are outdated. Any help is much appreciated.

Was it helpful?

Solution

There is this one that has been updated recently: Visual Studio Spell Checker

You can just add it from VS by going to the Extensions.
Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Online -> Search box -> Search for Spell Checker

I just tried it out, works well.

OTHER TIPS

If you have ReSharper (highly recommended, but a bit pricey) then I can recommend ReSpeller. Costs only $10 and is completely integrated into ReSharper.

At the same time, I can mention that ReSpeller (at least for the version I have, 2.3 for ReSharper 7.1) has one unfortunate quirk, but it is an option that can fortunately be turned off.

ReSpeller is unexpectedly accepting "prefered" as correct spelling

If you are using the Code Analysis/Fxcop rules built into visual studio you could add the following to your ruleset:
