Russian Spell Check offers its registered users a powerful tool - VERB AID. Now, what exactly is the purpose of this added feature?
Many students of the Russian language do not know how certain verbs are declined for each pronomina. It is easy to make mistakes, but instead of searching a dictionary, simply press the "VERB AID" button. You can now analyze the correct declension of each verb while spell checking documents...
VERB AID is a an easy and fast way to check the appropriate declension of many Russian verbs. In this version, not every single verb has been entered. The most common verbs, like ˜ËÚ‡Ú¸, „Ó‚ÓËÚ¸, ‡·ÓÚ‡Ú¸ Ë Ú.‰., are so familiar that the focus of this work was set to some of the most "difficult" verbs.
Please note: VERB AID does not work with CAPITAL letters.
For complete information, please, study the table below. It lists all the verb endings that are available in this version.

These endings are part of many Russian verbs that may cause problems for students. The intention of VERB AID is to cover 100% of the verbs. From version 2.38 we are very close to complete coverage. The user need to be aware of, that inconsistencies do exist in Russian verbs - a fully complete coverage is only made possible after adjusting the program to each and every single verb: this task appears remote, as the author of the program works alone in spare time...
It is obvious to all, that if all renderings of every single verb were added to the Dictionary, we would soon reach over a million entries! But, instead of creating such a large Dictionary, it is far better to enter as many root words as possible.
With the help of VERB AID we avoid the creation of such a humongeous Dictionary. There is no longer any need to have every single ending to verbs in the Dictionary. Why, You simply press the VERB AID button, and instantly You can check unfamiliar verbs.
By the way, You must register to use VERB AID.
