SCAYT plugin for CKEditor 3.0+

Installation Guide

SCAYT is an integrated spell-checker in CKEditor starting from version 3.0. A free version with an advertisement banner is available for no charge for all CKEditor customers. If a customer wants to remove the banner, the Hosted or Licensed version of SCAYT should be purchased.

Hosted Version

The SCAYT plug-in for CKEditor is a zero-installation solution for spell-checking provided by WebSpellChecker.net. You will now have a wonderful spell-checker running out of the box, requiring no server-side installations. Follow the instructions to migrate from the free version to the Hosted paid version of the plug-in without the banner.

Licensed Version

If you want the WebSpellChecker.net engine to run on your server, then the Licensed Version is for you. Follow the instructions to migrate from the free version to the Licensed version of the plugin.
