The Welsh spelling and grammar checker with a thesaurus

Cysill, included in the Cysgliad package, contains both a grammar checker and a spellchecker. In addition to correcting spelling and general grammatical errors, Cysill can correct incorrect mutation and, when errors are found, the user is informed of the reason why the error is considered to be incorrect.

It is possible to set Cysill to run from within Microsoft Word or as a standalone program for Windows 98 and Windows XP. Text from nearly any program can be sent to Cysill to be spellchecked by selecting the text and then pressing the Ctrl, Alt and W hotkey. If the original text is editable, Cysill can replace it automatically with the corrected text.
