Amendment is a brand-new way to fix spelling mistakes as you type.
When you make a typo, the Amendment panel pops up and lets you know. And with one simple keystroke, you can correct the word.
What problem does this solve?
You're probably familiar with the red underline - it means you made a spelling mistake. You can control-click it to see spelling suggestions. But that's so tedious that many users end up just re-typing the word. Amendment is a faster, easier way to fix typos.
You know, if you think about it, Amendment will save lives.
What about AutoCorrect?
Some people point to Microsoft's AutoCorrect as good solution for spelling mistakes. But it works behind your back. In fact, many people don't even realize it made any change at all! -- psychologically reinforcing typos. Not to mention the consequences if the computer picks the wrong word (or should we say, wrong ward).
Amendment is a happy medium between quickly and consciously correcting mistakes.
What if it suggests the wrong word?
Let's face it: your computer can't always read your mind (another good reason not to AutoCorrect). Sometimes the spell checker will suggest one word, when you were looking for a different one. Luckily, Amendment's ready.
With a single keystroke, you can pick from a list of suggestions or retype, all without ever taking your hands off the keyboard.
What's New:
Adds a customizable keystroke for "Ignore suggestion"
Removes expiration date
Fixes a potential Intel crasher
Several small bug fixes and optimizations.
