Spell checking a web site?
-
I'm down to the tedious testing stuff, one of which is spell checking all the pages on the site (a friend pointed out that since I offer freelance writing services, typos and poorly spelled words would only make me look more foolish than I usually do). So, I'm sitting here in a browser going through all the pages, select all, copy, paste into Word, look for squigglies, and on to the next page. There's got to be a better way. Anyone know of an automated approach to spell checking a live site?

Bad Astronomy |VCF|wxWidgets|WTLThanks, though I was actually thinking in terms of a tool rather than a service with an undisclosed price.

Sorry mate, but I employ the services of a proofreader because spell-checks only go so far. A good proofreader is worth their weight in gold, especially if they have copy editing skills. Handily for me, my wife is a qualified proofreader.
