I've put together a simple spell-checker for ancient Greek. It just highlights anything it can't find in Morpheus or Wiktionary (so there are some false positives, but it'll catch a lot of typos and misplaced accents). isaacbennettsmith-ancient-gr…
Screenshot from the spellchecker showing the input text and the output with some typos and a few false positives highlighted.
