What is ApSIC Xbench?
ApSIC Xbench (www.xbench.net) is a powerful Quality Assurance (QA) and Terminology environment that runs on Microsoft Windows.

You can also easily customize your own checks by using checklists. It also features an instant spell-checking engine, powered by Hunspell and Microsoft Word
