I have dyslexia and am starting my first collaborative project with other students using the IDE Visual Studio 2013. I fear that my miss spellings may cause errors and annoyance to the rest of the team, so I wish to keep my spelling mistakes to a minimum.

Projects on which I work alone are less of a problem, as if I spell the word wrong I tend to spell it wrong throughout the program in the same way - but I feel I would still get use out of a spell checker for these too.

I have had a google but only found a few plugins, most of which are outdated. Any help is much appreciated.

There is this one that has been updated recently: Visual Studio Spell Checker

You can just add it from VS by going to the Extensions.
Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Online -> Search box -> Search for Spell Checker

I just tried it out, works well.
