This is a comprehensive Spell Checker application which uses an internal database of over 450,000 words! Uses the Soundex and Levenshtein Distance Algorithms to fully emulate a word processor spell checker. The number of possible results can be adjusted too. All algorithms, additional work etc is fully documented. Votes welcome.

Thanks for the share. I've learned things I didn't know, didn't want to know, but find interesting... nice work.

Need to add "\DB's\" to the app path in the programming or move database to app path folder.

This is excellent. I like it.
I believe you need to add "\DB's" to the first statement in your form load.
To allow the enter key to be functional, I created the following procedure:
Private Sub txtInputWord_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 13 Then 'Enter
txtInputWord.SelStart = 0
txtInputWord.SelLength = Len(txtInputWord)
cmdGO_Click
End If
End Sub
I also changed the value of LdVal to 1 in the click event to narrow the initial choice (personal preference).
I gave it a 5.

Thanks for the observation. Actually the DB in the DB directory is just in case you need a clean new DB. I personally move a blank copy to app.path and then run the program. Anyway i will adjust the upload. Thanks

@ John. The url for the wordlist is in the documentation. Its a open source library called SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists)

This is most impressive Shelz
Watch out for an upload of your clsPhoneme class that has been modified to work better for spell checking all English words instead of matching names.

I recommended your program as AN ALTERNATIVE to someone who was attempting to automate Word's Spell Checker.
They got back to me and said it did not pick up bad spelling for the word 'and'
I have browsed your word list, and it is indeed not present.
So I tried adding it, but could not convince your program to regenerate the DB.
Probably you are storing settings in the Registry (which I avoid by using INI file).
I will study your code, so I can tweak it to allow a Re-gen.
(PS putting your empty DB into the main folder was not enough to enable the re-gen button.)
Whilst I was fumbling around, I went to the SCOWL page, to see if the latest list had 'and' in it, and perhaps much more ? ?
I downloaded it, but it needs a College education, to be able to create a word list from the contents of their zip file.
Can you point me to a web page, that explains how a Windows user would generate a list from all that.
Thanks,
Rob
