Writing a spell checking software

OK so why am I writing code that checks spelling with it available in word and available in Gmail?

I frequently spell incorrectly and would love to be able to have a spell checker that is quick to use and doesn't slow me down. So I'm creating another one to speed up the access to spell checking tools. In truth I won't be writing the algorithm to suggest the spelling words others have mastered that way beyond my capability but instead I plan on web crawling a dictionary site that can quickly give suggestions to misspelled words.

I have already created a basic design of a bee it doesn’t yet have the means to access the spelling yet but it’s a concept that I have already worked out.

Where I see challenges at this point is the crawl through websites to identify the suggested spellings, identify that the word is misspelled and to get permission to utilize their information in this way.

I’m calling this project spelling b. I’ll keep the blog posted to progress.
