Disable Spell Check

Hello,
I'd like to disable the spell check that is driving me crazy.
Is there a general preference panel where I can deactivate this option?
If not, should I use this code in the Terminal?
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticSpellingCorrectionEnabled -bool NO
Thank you?

that looks right to me.
or you can do it this way:
Launch System Preferences, either by clicking the System Preferences icon in the Dock, or by selecting System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Click the Language & Text preference pane.
In the Language & Text preference pane, select the Text tab.
To enable the automatic spelling check, place a check mark next to the Correct Spelling Automatically item.
To disable the automatic spelling check, remove the check mark next to the Correct Spelling Automatically item.

  • How to disable spell checker in editable forms?

    Hello, everyone,
    Asking for an advice.
    I want to disable spell checking in an editable PDF form, since I don't have the dictionary of my language.
    Spell checking in this case is bit annoying and slows down the editing.
    I have the checker disabled in the preferences. However the checker still tries to do it's job.
    How do I disable it?
    Greetings,

    Thanks for checking it out.
    If anybody has ideas about this, please share

  • Disable Spell Check for Skype APP windows 8.1

    Hello
    I am using the Skype App for windows 8.1. I am Spanish, but I regularly use English in my Skype conversations.
    Is it even possible to turn off the spell check? I already disabled it for windows, in the PC settings but, for some reason I won't ever understand, Skype keeps correcting my words.
    Please someone help me, before i throw my laptop out of the window.

    It won't let me edit post for some reason.
    If in some case you are satisfied with turning your keys globally, you won;t see the changes until you press ctrl +w. So correct steps for this procedure are:
    You can do it via charms and disable spellcheck globally , but if you don't press ctrl-W then you return to skype, it won't show as working
    If that rocks your socks then: 
    Launch the charms pressing Win+C.
    Go to Settings and hit on Change PC settings.
    Choose PC and devices and navigate to Typing.
    Carry the slider right or left as you want to use the feature.
    Come back to Skype and hit Ctrl+W to return to Skype Home and compel the changes to take effect.

  • Disable spell check on Curve 9320

    Hi all,
    I'm an Italian living in UK and I need to text and write emails both in Italian and English.
    Is there a way to completely disable the spell checker? I don't want to keep switching languages and it's quite annoying to be corrected everytime I type in a different language than the one which is set in the phone.
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    you may check/ uncheck options as per your requirement.
    Thanks..!! 

  • Disabling spell check

    Does anyone know how to permanently disable the spell check/work predictor function on IPad? It's driving me insane, constantly overwriting even my own name. iPad does not seem to have a memory that recognises often used words or unusual nouns and stops correcting you. Some of its suggestions are totally bizarre! just now it's even offered it's when its is the correct usage. Aagh.

    Go to Settings>General>Keyboard
    Turn auto correction off. I also turned off auto capitalization and spell checking.

  • Disable default Spell-Check (Spotlight, Stickies...)

    I know where the "Spelling and Grammar" menus are, and how to uncheck their "Check Spelling While Typing" default options.
    Anyway, even after I use them with the Spell-checker disabled, Spell-Check is back, re-enabled by default as soon as I close the app or I logout-login.
    What I would like to set is NO spelling-check by default, especially in two places I use a lot:
    Spotlight Comments (in a Get Info window)
    and
    Stickies.
    Thanks in advance!

    http://www.macworld.com/article/145322/2009/12/spellstickies.html
    I was looking to change this for textedit, but I found that it's in the preferences (duh!).
    Don't know about Spotlight.
    Hope this helps!

  • 2010 Publishing Site - Disable automatic spell check

    We have a 2010 publishing site.. and evertime you publsih a page it does an automatic spell check. Can this be disabled?
    I found how to disable spell check on lists but I need to stop the auto check on page publish.
    Thanks!
    sayitfast

    I also experienced this issue. 
    So i tried uncommenting the registerSpellingHandler() line in the Spellcheck.js files like suggested by sayitfast. This worked for me in my dev environment. But i didn't like messing around with the default SharePoint files under the 15 hive in the prod
    environment. 
    So i searched a bit more and found a decent solution for this. You can disable the spell check for certain fields by setting the "excludeContentFromSpellCheck" attribute to "true" on text area and input controls that you dont want to be spell checked. I
    did this on all my page layouts. Now i dont get false positives anymore. 
    The solution i found was this one: http://blog.cube4.com.au/?p=1016
    This worked for SharePoint 2013. I dont know if this would work for SharePoint 2010 also. 

  • WGM: is it possible to disable Word 2008 spell check with WGM?

    We have users that will use their macbooks to an exam where the teacher asks if htere is a possiblity to disable the spell check in Word.
    Thanks for any help i can get ...
    OSX server 10.5.6

    Yes, this should be possible.
    Applications store preferences in .plist files, which is basically all WGM does - controls plist files.
    You'll want to first identify which attributes with com.microsoft.Word.plist you want to control via WGM (to disable spell check).
    You may want to have Property List Editor installed (from developer tools - now on system administrator tools too) and open up /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Word.plist make a not of its settings. Then open word and change the settings necessary to turn off spell check. Then take a look at the plist file a minute afterward, you should notice some settings have changed. I think the setting may be "2008\Options\Options:AutoSpell", but you'll have to double-check.
    Once you know the setting, make a note of it and what the value should be to disable spell check.
    Now, open WGM and click a user, group, computer, or computer list object you want to control the spell check to. Click the preferences pane, then click 'DETAILS' (not Overview - which is default).
    Now click the PLUS button and browse for the com.microsoft.word.plist from your home folder. You may want to select 'ALWAYS' instead of 'OFTEN' as well. Then click 'ADD'.
    Once the plist is added to the list, double click it to edit it (you do not need property list editor for this part), and delete all of the attributes you do not need to control, you just want to leave the 1 or 2 attributes that toggle spell check to be off.
    This should take care of it.

    Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
    * You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.

    * Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

  • Spell check not working correctly

    I just noticed that when I'm composing an email in AOL mail that the red underline would appear under parts of a correctly spelled word as if some portion of that word was misspelled which isn't the case. I contacted AOL and they said it was probably a browser problem which turns out it is. After disabling spell check, in Tools, the problem went away. Re enable and the problem returns. I have the English language dictionary installed and I added the English language dictionary add on. This seems to have alleviated the problem, some what, but not completely. It sometimes will not underline an obviously misspelled word. Never had this problem until I installed FF 16. There has to be a bug in FF 16. Please review and advise. Thanks

    for years I had used IE. I recently installed Firefox and now my e-mail spell check doesn't work. The dictionary is loaded but cannot figure out how to resolve this. It still works when using IE, so am assuming it's a Firefox glitch.

  • How do I get spell check back on after firefox was updated? Thanks

    How do I get spell check back on after Firefox was updated?

    Not all locales come with a dictionary installed due to licensing reasons.<br />
    If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.
    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
    You can open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.<br />
