or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the atomic spell-checking algorithm on spellr.us

A step-by-step introduction to the system

By now you've most probably run a preview scan of your web site (if not, head back to the Home page and run a scan!) and you are obviously impressed enough to want to know more.

So here we go...

After going through the seriously quick and painless signup process you will be taken to the 'My Scans' page which is the central hub of the spellr.us system.

The first thing you will probably want to do is run a scan. You may want to update your details or change your password or create a custom dictionary first but who am I to judge? Let's just assume you want to run a scan. Creating a new scan is as simple as 1, 2, 3. Or even quicker depending on your options!

As you can see below the main requirements for scanning a site are:
  1 - the URL
  2 - how many pages to scan up to (the higher the number, the longer it takes)
  3 - whether you would like to schedule the scan to repeat automatically (disabled for certain accounts).

The trigger-happy among you will be content to hit "Scan" now, but you would be missing out on the fun stuff.

Dictionaries lets you choose your language (currently all the different flavours of English but more are coming soon) to make sure your site is checked correctly.
E.G: Words like organization vs. organisation
It also lets you tick which dictionaries you would like to add as word filters.

Options lets you customise the spell check further by applying ignore rules.

Filters is a very useful tool that can ignore certain elements on your page, based on class, ID or element tags.
E.G: You could add "blockquote" to filter/ignore any text within a <blockquote> tag.

Once you've set the scan up to your liking it's time to watch awesomeness in action. Continue to see what I mean...
