Google Day – New in Google Toolbar

Go to Google Toolbar Help to see the new goodies in Google’s toolbar. This is a direct quote from the help page, so don’t go making fun of me… my typos aren’t THAT bad. :-D

“New! SpellCheck

ARe yu a raelly bad tyipsst? Google Toolbar’s new SpellCheck button finds any spelling mistakes whenever you type into a web form, including web-based email, discussion forums, and even intranet web applications. The AutoFix option even corrects all of your text with a single click.”

“New! AutoLink
The online review of a great new restaurant has the place’s address but no map. You could type the restaurant’s street, city, and ZIP code into the search box, but why bother, when clicking the Toolbar’s AutoLink button will automatically create a link to an online map (US addresses only)? AutoLink can also link package tracking numbers to delivery status, VIN numbers (US) to vehicle history, and publication ISBN numbers to Amazon.com listings.”

“New! WordTranslator
Ever need to translate words on English web pages into another language? Don’t bother looking up words one by one – just hover your mouse cursor over an English word and Toolbar’s WordTranslator will tell you what it means in your own language. WordTranslator currently supports translation from English into Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, German and Spanish.”
