While there were attempts to create automated spell checkers as early as 1957, the first functional spell checker was created in February 1971 by Ralph Gorin, a Stanford graduate student. The spell checker was installed on a DEC PDP-10, located in Stanford University's Artificial Intelligence lab. The first patent to use a spell checker with a computer software program was issued to Software Concepts, Inc. in 1978. It is not clear which was the first application to use the spell checker, but photo-typesetting programs from Lanier, Philips, and Xerox included a spell checker.
