Indesign Spell Check plugin?

Hi all,
Have browsed the web a bit but haven't come across quite what I'm after.
I'm looking for a spell check plugin for InDesign CS6 that gives a little more flexibility over what it's searching for. I want to be able to customize the search.
For instance:
-- don't lookup uncapitalized sentences
-- don't lookup URLs
-- the ability to start and stop a search at the same point
-- sequential page spell check rather than random text boxes
I don't need vast databases of languages that some plugins provide, just a little better functionality. Any thoughts or plugins?
Thanks!
eu.

I am looking for the same thing. I can't understand why adobe doesn't supply a more robust spellchecker.

Server side spell checker plugin

Hi,
Is there a server side spell checker plugin that I can use within the CQ server for checking the spelling of text written within textareas and textboxes on my page?
Thanks in advance
Shriram

Hi Shriram,
    For rte it is available [1]. In case you are looking to validate the user form submission for textareas and textboxes. It is not available.
    Might be you need to develop one using [2].

InDesign spell check and apostrophes

I'm trying to spell check a long document, and the most frustrating thing is that the spellchecker stops at words or names with apostrophes but doesn't add them to the dictionary. Can anyone out there advise me how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Pete

If you go to Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling
You get a dialog box - the only options are for All Documents, Current Document, Story, To End of Story, or Selection
These are the options for checking spelling, ignore masters is not an option, unfortunately.
But you can select a range of text and use the Selection option to check the spelling.
Hope that helps.

Spell checker for KWrite doesn't work [SOLVED]

How do I enable spell checking for the KDE editors, i.e. KWrite, Kate, etc? I've installed aspell via pacman, it's in /usr/bin which is in my PATH. In KWrite's Settings>Configure Editor>Plugins, there is an option "KTextEditor KDataTool Plugin: Enable data tools like thesaurus and spell check (if installed)" which I've checked. In another distro, that's how I enabled spell checking with aspell, i.e. by checking this box for the spell check plugin. But in Arch this doesn't seem to be sufficient. When I try to spell check a document in KWrite, I get this error:
"The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and in your PATH."
What else do I need to do?
Robert
EDIT: Sorry, searching this forum for "spellcheck" hadn't yielded any solution but after I posted this I also searched for "spell AND check" and found the solution: I had neglected to pick Aspell as the client for spell checking in Control Center>KDE Components>Spell Checker.

InDesign cs6 spell check and master pages

I have created a set of master pages for a template in InDesign cs6. When I create a document from this template and apply "spelling", the spell check goes through every master page before moving to the document. How can I stop spell check from going to master pages unless, of course, the master page is highlighted? I have tried locking all master page objects and have also tried selecting the option of not allowing selection of master page locked objects. I have allowed, and disallowed, the override on master page items Nothing seems to work. I would like "spelling" to apply only the pages in the document, or only the selected page in the document.

If you go to Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling
You get a dialog box - the only options are for All Documents, Current Document, Story, To End of Story, or Selection
These are the options for checking spelling, ignore masters is not an option, unfortunately.
But you can select a range of text and use the Selection option to check the spelling.
Hope that helps.

InDesign CC - Spell check not working.

I can purposefully type a misspelled word in InDesign and the Spell Check doesn't catch it. In fact it doesn't seem to work at all.

Hi
Could you please provide the following information which could help in reproducing the issue at my end.
- Please provide screen shot of the dictionary preferences from following location.
Mac : Indesign->Preferences->Dictionary
Win : Edit->Preferences->Dictionary
- Please confirm whether this issue is also happening with new documents? Can you attach an .indd document with some misspelled words which ID spell check is not able to find.
- Do you have previous version of InDesign installed on your machine ? IF yes, can you tell me which all older version of InDesign are installed on your machine ?
- Please confirm whether Spell check was working fine for you in previous version i.e. in Version 9.1 and issue started when you updated to latest version i.e. ID 9.2.
I really appreciate your cooperation on this.
Thanks & Regards
Dinesh Kukreja

InDesign CC - spell check doesn't work

In InDesign CC when I launch spell check it appears at the top of my screen overlapping the menu bar. If I keep hitting command-I it will find and highlight suspect words, but does not give me any option to change them. Also, the spell check menu will remain at the top of the screen until I quit out of the program. Any suggestions how I can fix this? Thanks!

InDesign's Spell Check causes recall of student newspaper at Brigham Young University

This is hysterical. And a great lesson to be learned.
http://tinyurl.com/cd27ep

I agree. It's entirely up to the user to proof read any document going to press/print. Seriously, InDesign does not have predicative typing, predictive sentencing or predictive story, features that come installed like the new imac wheel does http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuVbrm_GqhM
Sure it has a spell checker that doesn't have all the words in the dictionary in there. It can highlight mispelt words and it can offer up suggestions. But it's the end user that has to read the article, highlight the error, select the right word and check that the sentence reads correctly before proceeding.
If anything this is just bad publicity for the University and shows how well they teach their young padawans. I've no sympathy for them.
Reminds me of a time a colleague used OCR when scanning a document and put the text straight into the layout. It got as far as press before someone noticed that the words were all messed up.
You have to take responsibility for your own actions and blaming someone or something else for your own mistakes is just unprofessional.
How people here used the spell checker on the forum when replying to this?

Indesign CC spell check

I am using indesign CC and when I spell check the document i am working on it indicates that pretty much every word is spelled incorrectly (the aren't) I have check and my dictionary is set to English, however the spell check window indicates that it is set to Tamil (India)

That is THE place you set the language, other than as part of a style definition. Many users are confused by the dictionary options in the application preferences. This does not select a default language or affect the text in any way, it's just where you get to choose which dictionary vendor will be used, when more than one is installed, to spell-check and hyphenate text to which that particular language has been assigned.
As a character-level attribute, you have the ability to assigne the correct language to every bit of text in the document, so if you are mixing in "foreign" words they will be spell-checked according to the correct dictionary.

InDesign CS6 Spell Check

I cannot find a spell check anywhere in inDesign CS6. I have checked all drop down menus and sub menus and preferences and there is no mention of spell check anywhere.

Edit>spelling>check spelling .
Also check Edit>menus>edit>spelling, and make sure it may not turn off.

InDesign (CC 2014) crashing every time I try to run a spell check

InDesign (CC 2014) crashing every time I try to run a spell check, I was wondering if anybody has had this before. I'm am also experiencing a delayed response, specially when I try to type, I get the colour wheel for about 5 to 8 seconds every time I click on a text box. Any thoughts? Thanks!

InDesign CC spell check is not working at all

I have been using InDesign for around a month now and now my spell check is not working at all. I have tried replacing preferences, changed dictionaries, created new documents with placeholder text and spell check does nothing at all with all of these things. Please Help

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons. 
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. 
Also make sure that [X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick. 
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

PLEASE HELP-Is there a way to spell check footnotes in indesign cs2 separately

Is there a way to spell check footnotes in indesign or in incopy cs2 separately?

Select all the text - not in the footnotes - but in your normal text frames.
Then go to Window>Type and Tables>Character
Change the Language to No Language
Then run your spell check. It will only check the spelling in your Footnotes now.
When done, change the language back to whatever your usual dictionary language should be. (note it may still check text inside tables - so you might have to put up with that?)
Anyone know of a way to script changing all the text bar footnotes to No Language - run a spell check - then reset the text language back?
( you don't want to hear the other crazy ideas I had for this one !)

InDesign CC spell check "ignore all" doesn't work

Is anyone having problems with "Ignore All" not working in spell check? I am repeatedly being prompted to check the same word or abbreviation again and again.
Just to be sure it wasn't a result of hidden characters or other variables, I have copied several text frames and spell check prompts for the same terms in both text frames even after clicking "ignore all" for each word the first time through.

I too started having this problem just this week.
I use ID to create user's manuals in which a product model number will show up at least 5 times per document. The "Ignore All" button in spell check has always ignored all instances of a product model number until now. I've noticed that "Ignore All" does not work on any repeated words in any of my documents. I'm not sure what has changed that caused "Ignore All" to stop working.
