Hello, Love the product but can't get it to work in one of my more important applications, FotoStation Pro. version 4.5.
I can get it to read a clipboard copy of the material i've written when I highlight the text and right click on copy. I would really like to have it follow and show the errors as I write. I'm using windows 2000.

Thank you for you thoughts.

Thanks for the post...

I downloaded FotoStation Pro. version 4.5 for evaluation and was surprised to see that it doesn't interact with Spell Catcher except through clipboard operations (as you reported).

I've e-mailed their support to find out a little more about how FotoStation Pro. version 4.5 collects key strokes from the OS. At this point I suspect that FotoStation is not interacting with the OS like a standard Windows application should... meaning Spell Catcher has no way of interacting with this application.

Sorry, this seems to be one of very few apps that Spell Catcher can't really help with...

If I get any feedback from the folks at FotoStation I'll post it here.

Thanks,
John Tytler - Author, Spell Catcher for Windows

Thank you and I look forward to seeing if you find an answer to the problem. But like I said it's a Great product just a little inconvenient with that application.

I did receive an email from Fotoware saying that the next version of FotoStation (5.0) will operate correctly with applications like Spell Catcher... and I encouraged them to download Spell Catcher so they could test the two products together...
