After the Deadline: Contextual Spell Checking

Logo for After the DeadlineRaphael Mudge sent us an email on his latest project, After the Deadline.

I'm a computer scientist working to fill a gap in current CMS feature sets.  It isn't a new social or wireless feature.  I'm working to bring spelling, style, and grammar checking to web applications.  The technology is available for WordPress and the Open Source TinyMCE editor.

After the Deadline is an exciting plugin that adds a much needed feature often missing in most CMS rich text editors. After the Deadline currently supports plugins for TinyMCE and Wordpress. Some additional bullet points behind the plugin include: 

  • Corrects spelling with 90% accuracy
  • Checks 1,500 words for misuse
  • Finds grammar errors
  • Improves writing style
  • All plugins are licensed under the LGPL

I haven't tried After the Deadline myself, but will likely try it out on a Wordpress site I maintain. However, if you take a look at the feature page and the demo page you will get a good idea of what After the Deadline can do for your CMS.

After the Deadline is free to "casual users", but busier writers will need to pay for a subscribed service plan. I don't think CMS Report will qualify as a casual user.
