Addictive Software is very pleased to officially announce the availability of the full release version of Addict 3. Version 3 is a near complete rewrite of Addict from the ground up and is still a 100% native VCL component. Version 3 supports Delphi 4 (and later) and C++Builder 4 (and later).

Addict is a professional native VCL component suite that provides end-to-end solutions for adding spelling check and thesaurus support to your applications. With Addict you can add live-spelling ("squiggly" red underline) to your RichEdit components, add a first-class spelling checker capable of checking nearly any control available, and add automatic thesaurus lookup and replacement support. All of this and more can be done with only a few calls into Addict's well documented API.
