For all that need to write German texts, or that are studying German, Canoo offers a free, interactive spelling dictionary at:
http://www.canoo.net/services/GermanSpellingDictionary/ueberblick/index.html?lang=en

Canoo.net searches for the word entered and finds out if it is affected by the spelling reform, providing the grammatical category and any related information. All entries in the spelling dictionary are directly linked to the corresponding spelling rules. See the dictionary entry for the word Fußballlehrer.

In addition to checking for words affected by the spelling reform, the online spell checker also includes major German publisher style guides and recognizes regional variants used in the other German speaking countries, Austria and Switzerland.

As a further help, users can consult the dictionaries for inflection, morphology and word formation with 250,000 lexicon entries. In addition, Canoo.net provides a direct link to the largest online German-English dictionary LEO. For example, a search term such as Nonstopflug generates links to all Canoo.net dictionaries.

Searching for items such as irregular verb generates links to explanatory grammar texts.

If the linguistic terminology is unclear, an online glossary is available at:

All terms are explained in English and German.
