What is VirtAssist (Orfo Switcher)?
Orfo Switcher is a Windows application that assists users in checking the spelling of words as they type in other programs. The software monitors the user's input and automatically checks each word against a dictionary when the spacebar is pressed. If the word is not found in the dictionary, the application presents the user with a menu of similar word suggestions. Additionally, the program can detect unusual character combinations and automatically switch the keyboard layout to the appropriate language setting. Formerly known as Orfo Switcher, this tool has since been rebranded as VirtAssist and now requires a paid subscription
