LR4 beta feedback: Spell checker

This is a small thing, but wish it was in Lightroom. A spell checker would help avoid mistakes in typing titles, captions and tags, etc.
It would be very helpfully.
Regards,
Steve.

The ones we think are easy often turn out to be the most complicated.
As it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding the request to the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.

Problem with spell checker - microsoft word is better in this respect

First, I love Pages, I find it better than Word and will continue to use it. Second, I love the spell checker, and I keep it on as I'm typing. I don't want to change this, except for one small feature that Word does and Pages does not.
When I'm typing a sentence, there are many occasions when I type a word that Pages doesn't have in the dictionary, and thus it changes it to what it thinks I want to type. For example, I typed "Lindberg" and it changed it to "Lundburgh" which I didn't want to happen. Of course, this happens to other words that are not proper nouns.
In Word, if I'm typing a sentence such as "And then Lindberg..." and Word changes it to "Lundburgh," if I simply delete back and re-write "Lindberg" and continue on, Word by default will NOT auto-correct again, and I can continue typing freely.
In Pages, however, if I do the above Pages continues to auto-correct. You must right click and "Ignore" or "Learn" spelling, and that slows me down big time.
So, I think Pages should do this one thing that Word does, and I'll be a happy camper.

So, I think Pages should do this

Better browsers than FireFox with spell checks?

I've been using FireFox but it's slow and wouldn't response sometimes,are there any better browsers that also provide spell checks?Thanks!

try this to speed up firefox:
1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll
down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests " to some number like 60. This
means it will make 60 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

How do I get spell check on Beta e mail?

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789519''
I am so disgusted with this site! I am trying to ask how to get spell check and you ask for confimation of my address but do not tell me how to do it! This is taking far too much time and I can't send a mail until I know the answer. This Beta site is not user friendly and freezes up every time I use it! I am really frustrated .

Better Spell Checker?

Not sure if this will be addressed in the "new SDN" (whenever it's coming), but is it possible to get a better Spell Checker on SDN? For example, I typed 'adressed' and the suggestions did not even include the correct spelling ('harnessed' - seriously?), which is not so far off. MS Word for the same typo gives just one suggestion - the correct one ('addressed').
And would it be possible to add at least some commonly used SAP terms / abbreviations? 'ABAP' is not a typo and by SDN I don't mean SUDAN.
Edited by: Jelena Perfiljeva on Feb 15, 2012 3:54 PM

I typed in ABAP and pressed the spell checker. It caught ABAP as an error and suggested ABAP (ABAP with a space after it)! I replaced with the spell checker version of ABAP and pressed spell checker again. It still caught ABAP .
And if I type abap, I really don't see how I could possibly mean labia

How do we get spell check on Beta? It isn't obvious like before

I sent a question before but it asked me to confirm my address and didn't show me how to confirm. My problem is I do not know how to get spell check on an e mail. This has been so time consuming because I also can't get to anything once I click. Always getting the hourglass and can't get through.

Mail Spell Check Needs a LOT of Work

How do we get Apple to make major improvements to their MAIL Program? I love the program and it's ease of use, but the SPELL CHECK adn GRAMMAR CHECK leaves a lot to be disired. I will NEVER say that Outlook is a better mail program BUT it does a superior job in handling these two functions.
This has cause me infinite problems as I always do NOT have time to go back and FIX what Apple has changed.
Presently I use my MacBookPro and my Mac Pro, and both have the problem. I just upgradedto Mountain Lion on my Notebook and it is no better.

Pages Spell Check

When is Pages spell check going to be updated?
It's better on iPhone...

You can offer Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ but you may want to be a little more specific in how you feel it is not adequate on the iPad.

How can I get Apple to pay attention to improving spell check and grammar?

I love this company and the products they develop.   I am embarrassed at the number of Apple products that I have at this point. However, I have to say that the spelling and grammar check on Mac Mail is awful. I am a terrible speller, and am constantly forced to go to Google to find the correct spelling of a word that seems to totally confuse Apple spell check. But here is the thing, you often need only have one letter missing or incorrect for Mac's spell check to show no results.
For example: cannibalize.   Try spelling it with one "n" and the spell check will show NO results. Use two N's correctly, but replace the "i" with an "a" and again it is completely useless. Obviously, this is ridiculous. What good is a spell check that get's confused if you are one letter off of the correct spelling? There are thousands of these examples, and sadly, I seem to find them all.
Moreover, when it does have suggestions, they are in a ridiculous order as well.   If it suggest 5 or six words, it generally seems to suggest extremely long tail (rare) words first, and the have the most commonly used words listed last (or again, not at all).
Grammar is similarly awful.   It is the ONE area as far as I am concerned that is clearly better on Windows and Google Apps, and yet seems so basic these days. It's been around for 20 years for goodness sake.
I bring this up in the hopes that a truly motivated developer will fix core functionality.   In the meantime any tips for me (besides snarky advice about learning to spell).
Rick

I totally agree with you, I as well, cannot compose any complex messages in Mail, however I'm am stuck using a browser extension like "Gramercy" to assist me! Maybe after many replies Apple will address the issue

Why is my spell checker not working in a document using Word 2003

I have a word document in Word 2003 . I was altering it and noticed that from page 3 to 6 the spell checker does not work.
I transferred the pages into another another file still didn't work . Just copied a paragraph still didn't work. So I then started typing the rest of the document into another file and straight away it underlined my spelling mistakes in red.
So why not in these few pages of my document.
This is a paragraph from the pages below. I altered some words deliberately to see if my Word 2003 would pick them up. It didn't.
The landlord shall be entitiled to pursue the tenant for any reasonable costs incurred as a result of the tenant’s faulure to pay rent including but not limited to any charges for returned cheques or any reasonable costs incurred
in pursuing the tenant for payment of unpaid rent.
But when I put it in here it does pick them up. So it is something I have done .

Hi,
According to your description, this issue is more related to Word. The Word IT Pro Discussions forum is a better place for word questions, we will move it there for you.

Text and spell check in languages other than English

I am a linguist who writes papers primarily in English, but which contain a significant number of words and paragraphs in other languages. Is there a way (as there is in MSWord) to highlight these words and passages and choose a different language for them so that the spell checker does not see them as English misspelled words.
Even better would be for the spell checker to identify eventual errors in these paragraphs of foreign languages: However, when I choose EDIT > SPELLING > SPELLING... the spelling checker window has no button or menu allowing the user to select different languages or language dictionaries.
I know that Mail does it automatically for the languages provided. Is there anything comparable in Pages?
Most of the alternative languages I use are quite common, i.e. French, Spanish, Portuguese.

drew,
Select your paragraph, click on the Text Inspector, More button, then select the language from the menu.

We get paid with cheques and organise specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my mac book pro or my IMac of the american spell checker.

We get paid with cheques and organise, specialised coloured aluminium. I can not rid my apple devices, mac book pro, desktop IMac or IPhone of the american spell checker.
Everything, Numbers and Pages et al, always default back to US English. To cap it all we sell luminaires (yes this is a word used in our world of lighting design everyday) Mac and Microsoft always default - my docs have more words underlined in red that not. I once found a permanent solution for Microsoft that removed US english - and then the laptop died. Can anyone rid me of this irritation.

GOT IT FIXED! WOW!
I did better than filing a bug report. I went to Apple support, chose chat support. When it wanted $15 or was it $19 I filed an exemption which was a choice on the page, based on the fact that I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
Got the chat fellow and here we go!!!! ;-) First off he sent me this app so he could see my screen. Then he had me do a few things like move the system configuration folder to the desktop and repair permissions. Then he had me reset the SMC and Pram. Nothing helped, all the ghost computers still showed in the finder.
As a last resort he had me reset my Apple Airport Extreme. Wala! Ghost Computers GONE! He said it was a combination of stuff but mainly it was the airport extreme when I installed Yosemite. Something to do with my network. We'll see if it holds or if the problem comes back but as of now there's no more ghost computers in the sharing part of the finder.
Thanks to all who offered suggestions. I hope maybe this helps someone else.

How can I mark large sections of a topic to be skipped during RH spell check?

I have a RoboHelp Webhelp project in which many of the topics have sample code and other entire lines of package, class, and other names that I want
the spell checker to bypass.
Unfortunately, there is no option to select the text and mark it to be ignored.
When I run spell check, RH flags certain words or phrases and asks me how to handle them, one at a time.
If I close the spell check dialog, RH bounces right back to the spot where I stopped it during a subsequent spell check.
This is tedious and I end up with multiple <rhignored? = "text to be ignored".> in a single code sample, for example.
Is there a better way to mark sections of text to be skipped?
I see this as basic functionality, and maybe I am missing something I did not find on this forum or in the help files.
Thanks so much!
Cynthia
I meant to add that I am using RoboHelp 9 on a PC running Vista.

Sorry but there's no way I have seen. I state that quite categorically as what will hopefully happen is that someone will now respond they do know a way.
I'm not sure I would agree what you want is basic functionality but I do understand your need for it.

No Spell Checker in Pages 3.0.2

I am running Pages 3.0.2 in Leopard 10.5.2 on a Dual 1.8 Ghz PowerMac with 1.5 Gig of RAM.
I do not have any external Spell Checkers installed.
I have been completely unable to run any Spelling Checks.
I always get "Cannot Contact Spell Checker"
If I have Check Spelling as you Type selected, I get that message about every 10 seconds.
What is UPPPP????
Any Solutions or Work Arounds??
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Ted

Theodore,
You may not have any external spell checkers installed now, but I wouldn't be surprised if you once did. And when you disabled and trashed it, it left behind some remnants. I'll bet that's what Pages is finding.

Adobe Reader X - after using the spell checker words run together

Hi,
I am using Adove LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 to design electronic forms that are filled out in Aobe Reader X. However, when the spell checker is used in Adobe Reader X, all the words that were corrected by the spell checker become one word. For example "Together is better" becomes "togetheris better." This is preventing my company from using electronic forms and I really want to convert my company to electronic forms. Does anyone know when the next version of reader will be available and if this will be fixed? Is there a workaround?
Thanks

Hi,
This is the exact issue I am having. It would open then self terminate within seconds. I was suggested to un-install the program. Now I cant get any visual, and there is an error message. AAARRRGH! So frustrated.
