Greek Spell Check and Auto-Correction

Hi, I want to know if I can add a Greek dictionary that will have the same features as the English Language has on Lion.
Why Apple didn't integrate such a simple thing. To make every user from different places in the world to have the convenience of Auto-Correction they have on iOS on OS X too. Greek Auto-Correction exist on iOS why not on Lion?

Nobody can tell you why Apple hasn't included some feature that you want, but you can ask them for it here:

  • Spell-check without auto-correction? Why not?

    Why can't we choose spell-check without auto-correction?

    Steven,
    As I typed that Reply, your Spellcheck thread (for the forums), came immediately to mind.
    That was one of the prime motivators in wanting a dictionary, that could be customized.
    Over the years, I have migrated my WordPerfection dictionary through several versions, 'cause I have added a ton of wine, food, video and photo terms, and would hate to have to redo all of those, especially the ones using multi-national characters.
    Yeah, maybe inclusion of "Photoshop," "Premiere," "InDesign," etc., etc., would be expected, or at least hoped for.

  • Spell Checker errors & auto-correct gone mad

    I have had a problem for awhile now with bad spell checking.
    If I make a typo, the softeware learns the mispelled word - and edits properly spelled instances of the word to be wrong later.
    ("the softeware" - I don't know if its Apple's or a 3rd party's).
    I am getting "Teh" errors, transpositions & complete case changes, for example words ending in "-ed" being changed
    to "-ing" endings here & there. A few other recurring ones, as well.
    Its acting like a keylogger associated with firmware in the darn keyboard!
    I've run checks for spyware & keyloggers & they came up negative.
    I can't tell if its in the core OS softeware, or being driven by a third party test drive.
    I can't seem to shut off enough spell checking to solve the problem.
    Example: the "e" in softeware above was an autocorrect, not what I typed & saw typed.
    The corrections are more than "ie" & "ei" transpositions & sometimes involved letters across the keyboard.
    Any ideas or solutions for this? Am I the only person with this problem?
    (I tried to find a close enough topic, but they were either old & archived, or not really quite my issue).

    How do you mean "don't know what software I'm using?"
    If the phenomenon occurs across most apps that are word intensive, then it appears not to be tied to any one.
    Something is recognizing a problem not there & "correcting" it, because I can see it happen & its not all due to operator error typos.
    I gather there's predominantly one spell checker engine across most applications, not one for each, if the symptoms are broad. IF that can be pinned on a "spellcheck" function. It isn't strictly a spellcheck.
    "Substitutions" yes is more accurate than calling it true spellchecking & I might be rmisrepresenting the phenomenon to call it that.
    Whatever is causing it, is learning & auto-correcting words that were may or may not be wrong. 2 letter pairs is mostly what happens. Or a capitalization of the 2nd letter in a word, to match the first letter: "IT" paired at the beginning of a sentence is a common manifestation.
    I can't find anything that could be left from an uninstalled test driven application.
    Your pointing to "Language & Text" may be valuable. The "ie" & "ei" substitutions are fairly common & German was one of the language options turned on, along with French & Italian – although I'm not sure what that panel even controls. I'm removing all options except English.
    I haven't seen a lot about this kind of thing on here, so I am assuming that its rare & likely something not part of the Apple suite of applications. I'm simply trying to narrow down what's going on.

  • Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and checkeed keyaboard settings. Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

    Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and also looked in System preferences - keyboard. this stops the "Auto-correct" but does not help me with Afrikaans or other language spell check.  Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

    You are basically limited to what Apple deigns to offer.
    Try LibreOffice [free] which has a huge selection of languages.

  • Hi, can someone please tell me why the spell check in pages doesn't work. I went to preferences and enabled this auto spell checker and have set the language to british english. But still it doesn't work while it works perfectly in TextEdit.

    Inspector > Text > More > Language
    Only applies to selected text, like making it a particular font.
    It is not a setting that sticks. If you continue to paste in text from elsewhere particularly the Internet it will have a different or None language set to it. You need to select it and make it B.E.

  • Spell Check and Ellipsis

    I'm writing out a story on Dreamweaver, and I am frequently writing dialogue with ellipses (those triple periods indicating a pause) mid-sentence. I've been taught by multiple sources on grammar that an ellipsis at the end of the sentence is followed by a space, whereas one in the middle of the sentence is not. However, Dreamweaver's spell check seems to have issue with ellipses that have no spaces between them and the words before and after them.
    It almost seems to disregard the ellipsis entirely and mistakenly see the two words it's written between as one jumbled word. I have to hit ignore every time it brings an instance up while checking my spelling. Does anyone know what causes this in Dreamweaver's spell check, and is there any way to work around it so I don't have to keep telling it to ignore every instance?

    Ben has your solution.
    In order to type an ellipsis on my Mac, I just hold down the [option] button and press ";" and I get an ellipsis. But not on a website. In many cases, the character that comes up on some browsers is a black diamond (actually the color is whatever you are using in your style sheet for the font color) with a question mark in it.
    This is to say, don't use an ellipsis character. Use the HTML code for the character, which will be rendered properly in all browsers. The code for an ellipsis is … or … which must be entered in your Code View.
    Now, what you could do is type an ellipsis character and do Dreamweaver's Find and Replace to correctly replace the character with the code. Make sure that Find is searching for Source Code.
    I don't use spell check in Dreamweaver. I keep a TextEdit or Notepad application open for words I'm not sure about and check spelling outside of the application. Dreamweaver CS3 did not have spell check and so I have retained that workflow for my documents.

  • Pages spell check and Mac dictionary

    I find it annoying that Pages' spell-check is not synchronized with Mac Dictionary/Thesaurus. There are words I type that are shown as misspelled, but exist in the Dictionary program. Why not sync the two? It's annoying how many legitimate words Pages thinks are misspelled.
    b

    bk,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I completely agree. OS X's dictionary and thesaurus are excellent, and it would be nice to have them integrated into Pages spell-check and learned words functions.
    Please leave feedback for the Pages team.

  • Spell check and word suggestion doesn't work Droid 4

    My wife and I both have Motorola Droid 4s. I have had mine for almost a year, and she has had hers just a week. After I factory reset mine to fix a spell check problem, I noticed that the spell check still doesn't automatically fix errors, and there is no word suggestion. Her's is doing the same thing. When I looked for this issue online, I found numerous other Motorola Droid 4 owners having the same problem.
    Since we text a LOT, this is certainly a major inconvenience. We would like to know if there is a fix for this issue, is it OS version and phone specific, and when an update/fix can be expected.
    Thank you for your time!

    The settings you gave me are the same as I and my wife have set except for the keyboard and input methods. For us, android is checked but disabled (gray), moto chinese input is checked, and swype is checked but disabled and gray. Same as it was when spell check and suggestions didn't work. Now ours is working but what is really interesting is that we never changed anything since it wasn't working. We just woke up the day after posting this and it was working. Hmm. I left the moto chinese checked because why tempt fate?
    Thank you for your reply and information.  That fact is, my spell check worked for a year and then suddenly it did not. My wife's didn't even out of the box, then the day after I post, ours works perfect. Coincidence? Who cares. =)

  • Syntax check and auto-format disagree

    Flash 8 Pro: Well, I'm coding along quite nicely and decide
    to auto-format. Auto-format says the code has errors, the syntax
    check says there are none. I can run my code (though it's not doing
    what I want) without getting an error.
    Are there specific scenarios that cause the syntax check and
    auto-format to disagree?
    In just about every other development tool I've used, it will
    auto format regardless of errors, even if the formatting is messed
    up. it's a good aid to highlighting syntax errors! Why can't flash
    do the same?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Well, after commenting out lots of code until the error went
    away and then removing the comments and making some tweaks, the
    problem has gone away..

  • Onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"

    How do I increase the onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"? I just tried to spell check a document and the font size was so small I can't see what it says. Also, when you click on 'font' to change it, I wish the list of fonts was larger so I could see it clearer. I have pretty good vision so it's not that, it's just the size of the font....it must be at least 6! Thanks for your help.

    Hi, Diane. I don't know what sort of display you're using, but it sounds like you have a flat LCD display. At any resolution lower than its maximum, a flat-screen LCD display is always blurry, and the lower the resolution, the blurrier it is. This is because unlike a CRT display, an LCD has a fixed number of physical pixels in it that can't be changed. If you instruct it to "pretend" it has a smaller number of larger pixels by setting it for a lower resolution, each of the "pretend" pixels has to be made up of several real pixels instead of just one, and no pixel can be (for example) half white and half blue: a pixel is an indivisible unit that is always all one color. So the only way the hardware can use several pixels to represent one larger one is to gradate the colors of those pixels as best it can to approximate the intended image, and that inevitably spreads the gradation out — which is exactly what blurring is. This is just an inbuilt property of LCD displays, not a defect that needs to be (or can be) fixed. The solution is to buy a display that works well for you at its highest resolution — which will probably mean a lower-resolution display than you have now.

  • Where is spell check and insert signature

    ANGRY that when I access my company e-mail through Outlook Web Access, there is no ability to spell check and no way to insert signature.
    So....do I have to check my e-mail on a PC to get these features...say it is not so.

    Right click (if you have a 2 button mouse) or control-click in the window of safari. a menu will pop up.
    You will see an option for spelling. You will go down to it and when you do you can open up the spelling window itself (first option), have it check the spelling in the text entry window (second option), or have it check it as you type (3rd option).
    he signature is a different story. it will be an option in your companies web mail program. Look for settings there. Web mail programs have settings just as regular desktop mail does.
    If that fails and there is no signature option then a solution would be to use stickies or a text editor to type up a signature then use copy and paste to put it in the end of your email (copy is command-c, paste command-v).

  • How to create a text area with spell check and other functions similar to word?

    I want to allow users the ability to copy and paste their content  on to the site.  The problem is giving them the option to use spell check and other word like features to my site.  My goal is to develop some thing  similar to how we post our question in this forums.  

    Some old and some new.

    You realize you'll need to use server-side scripts and a database for this.  Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you might just want to install WordPress, Drupal or Joomla on your site.

  • RH7 - Spell Checker and Smart Index Wizard looking in all folders?

    Hi all,
    RE: RH7 - Spell Checker and the Smart Index Wizard looking in all folders instead of just TOC topics?
    While running the Spell Checker and the Smart Index Wizard I am getting the impression they are looking in *all* the folders under the Project Files folder, and not just the topics I have chosen to insert into my TOC. Is this true? If so, is it possible to set RH so that it only looks in TOC topics?
    TIA
    - avraham

    Hi Peter -
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, the pop-up topics are in the same
    folders as the other topics and I am choosing "Any Status" (right
    now all of the topics in the project are the same status anyway).
    What's even stranger is that after I posted my original
    message, I found that it picked up about five of my 100 or so
    pop-up topics, yet ignored the rest. I cannot find ANYTHING about
    these included topics that differs from the ignored topics.
    Bizarre.
    Since I need to move forward ASAP, I am now going through
    each pop-up topic individually and using the Smart Index option on
    the Topic Properties Index tab. It works just fine; is just
    time-consuming, but actually may end up saving me time on the Index
    in the long-run, since I can define which keywords Robo adds to
    each topic on the front-end (not have to prune out worthless
    entries later).
    My guess is that this issue may have to do with the
    conversion of the files from RH 5 to RH 6. It shouldn't - all of
    the pop-up topics were added after I converted to RH 6, but I've
    noticed odd things can happen when you bring a project into a newer
    version of the program.
    Thanks again, Peter.
    I don't have an answer but I have a workaround that
    I can live with!
