I use the jquery-spellchecker with the Google service and a I have another custom app that uses it too. Last night I noticed that all queries to the serviced started to return a 502 error. Now they are all 404. Just browsing directly to the URL gives a 404:

Does anyone know if they have killed this service? Ugh....

This is causing me headaches as well. Let me know if you find a solution, and I will do the same :)

Well I can't get any sort of word from Google or anyone about that service so I just assumed it is toast. Our solution uses .net so we went with NHunspell (http://nhunspell.sourceforge.net/). It is working fine.

Thanks for the update TickleKitty. I'll check that out. I'm still looking around for alternatives so if I find something else I'll post it here in case it helps.

Hey again, I found this and will probably go with this ...

My project is MVC and uses the same jquery spellchecker plugin (which was hooked up to google), so for me this is perfect. Hopefully this helps someone else out too
