If you want Outlook style spell checks, why not use Outlook to check your mail?

Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result is maddening.
HELP!!!
Running OSX 10.9.1

I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out. The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
Thanks, King

Slow and no spell checker.

I hate to admit it, but this beta is way to slow compare to IE7 and Opera that I use daily. And on mac side on my macmini and macbook the mac beta version runs well as usual.
And it crash couple time and no spell checker as it was on mac beta version.
Just hope this can motivate the safari team for windows to tweak this safari better before release the final version.
Peace Out.

I'd second a spell checker (but I'd really prefer it to be system wide like on my Mac), but Safari is honestly, and significantly, faster than both Firefox and IE on my Windoz box

Fierfox will not spell checkinoutlook email and the spell check box has been ticked

spell check box is ticked but is not working on firefox with outlook email

Please also make sure it is enabled: [http://helpspot.business.uconn.edu/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=187]

CRM 7.0 Email Spell Check

Hello all,
Iu2019m currently working on an upgrade project. My client is upgrading from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0. During the upgrade we are implementing Email for CRM and my client is looking for auto spell checker to scan the body of the email. My client does not want their agent to have to push a button to activate the spell check but just auto underline the incorrect works, like in Microsoft products. My client is using the Web IC functionality of CRM 7.0. I was hoping someone could recommend a third party vendor since SAP CRM does not do it.

Hi Eric,
Check if John Burton's weblog solutions for spell checking may help you. It's located here:

Kind regards,

Email spell checking issues

After installing Lion I have 2 problems with mail. The first is when I come to send an email, my spell checker won't allow me to edit the text as the messafe gets sent as soon as I type. Sendin the whole message un checked.
The secondissue is with the rule I have set, in that it will forward the message to another address but won't attach the enclosure, any thoughts?

There was actually supposed to be spell-check capability available to developers to get started using it, in the latest 2.0 beta. Some inadvertent (?) glitch led to it being unavailable, but it's pretty certain at this point that 2.0 will definitely have spell-checking and auto-text (auto-correct) stuff in it, in the native PIM, available to devs to integrate into their apps and, I suppose, possibly even in text fields in web forms.

How to I edit Mail and Pages spell check

Would like to edit the file of words that the spell check uses for Mail and Pages. I have erroneously had it "learn" the wrong spellings and would like to eliminate the erroneously spellings

My user dictionary file is located in my
homefolder\library\spelling\en
I have, in the long past, edited that file using TextEdit.

How do you add new even to iCal? (and my spell check)

ok i am ********
in my last post i spelled mail as male....
Here is my question .. each time i try to add a new event to iCal i get a pop up window that says "You can not add events to MAIL calendar. "
I searched the helps menu and i did exactly what it says but each time i try to add an even i get the same pop up. And also on the pull down the add even is shaded out.

Dean,
Here is what iCal Help says about being unable to change an event or calendar.
If you can’t change an event or calendar, check the following:
If it’s a calendar to which you’ve subscribed, you can change the calendar name but you can’t change its events or to-do items.
If you were invited to an event, you can change only your status for the event, the calendar where the event appears, and the event alarm.
You can’t change or delete events on the Birthdays calendar. (To show the Birthdays calendar, select “Show Birthdays calendar” in iCal preferences.) To change the birthdays that appear, open Address Book (in your Applications folder) and make your changes there. For more information, in Address Book choose Help > Address Book Help.
If you can’t change a single event’s time zone or the iCal time zone, time zone support may be turned off. Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and then make sure the “Turn on time zone support” checkbox is selected.
If you want to change events on a calendar that you published on the Internet, but you’ve deleted the calendar from your Calendars list, you need to re-create the calendar with all its events, give it the same name as the published calendar, and then publish the new calendar. The new calendar will replace the previously published one.
If you can’t change an event for which you are the organizer, or you can’t change the attendee settings for an event you’ve been invited to, make sure all your email addresses are listed on your Address Book card (the card marked “me”).
1. Do any of those recommendations help you further define your problem.
2. Is there any reason you have not yet upgraded to OS X 10.5.3?

I use MSN Hotmail for my email. Why do I no longer have the spell check option with Firefox. Do I need to download a dictionary? How do I do this?

When I have typed an email and press spell check it sayed that browser will check it for me. When I tested it the spelling mistake was left uncheck by MSN Hotmail and or Firefox. Which?
How do I get the spell check to work?

Chris

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.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

Auto Spell Check Email, but not SMS

My automatic email spell checker is a very important part of my life when I'm typing emails with my thumbs. However, I absolutely hate an auto spell checker when I'm SMS texting - as a tend to abbreviate. I can seem to separate the two spell checkers my Tour. If I turn on automatic spell checking on my outgoing email (what I want), I also get auto spell checking on SMS (what I don't want).
Any way to get around this?
Thanks,.

hmmm, you just made a darn good reason for the spell check in SMS.

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

Epiphany and spell checking [Solved]

Any of you great people got spell checking enabled in epiphany 2.26.2-1. I can't seem to enable it.
I have had a look in about:config and added "en_GB" as my dictionary (also tried en_US ), but nothing.
As far as I can see it uses enchant for spell checking, as does abiword and the spell check in abiword is working fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I got it working
I had to add the line
user_pref("layout.spellcheckDefault", 1);
in ~/.gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/prefs.js
That option is frozen out when you try to change it in about:config
I also had to reboot (but a logout/login probably would have worked), because after editing my prefs.js file epiphany wouldn't load any pages or about.config.
My only disappointment is that epiphany doesn't offer suggestions for misspelled words... yet.
But at least I know now when is something is wrong.

How do you spell check a field?

How are people spell checking their fields?
In searching around, I have only found (a) suggestions to yank the text into MS Word, do a spell check, then yank the resulting text into the field; (b) software from DC AL CODA that we aren't clear how they actually work (http://www.dcalcoda.com).
Specifically, my manager wants a tool that'll interface with Oracle like this: give a table name and a field name and be asked about each spelling error, much like an email spell check. The tool would change things as you ask, directly in the database. You wouldn't have to cut and paste into it and back to the db fields.
We aren't using forms. We use SQL*Plus, Quest Software's TOAD, and our own Java servlets (using JDBC to enter SQL statements).
I would love to hear how people do their spell checking.
Hopefully this is an appropriate forum for this question. There doesn't seem to be a general or SQL forum. Our database tables include a fair amount of text that shows up on Web pages. These are the fields we want to spell check.

I thought I'd reply to my own question since I found a workable solution, at least for our office which has MS Windows.
MS Access can connect directly to an Oracle data source. Access has a spell checking feature where you can select a field and spell check it. Below are tips and instructions for doing this.
TIPS:
It's surely a good idea to back up tables and be the only person or process changing those tables during the spell check.
One thing to watch for is whether the entire table comes in. At the bottom of the screen is a >* button which seems to get all fields. For large tables, you have to hit this button before you get the entire table.
Another glitch is that all of the given database user's tables show up in one list box -- makes for some painful scrolling, but all of the tables are listed.
A much smaller glitch is that if you widened any of the fields in the view of the table, when you close the window, it asks if you want to save the formatting. It has nothing to do with saving the data (that is automatic). It's safe to say no.
The spell check doesn't recognize HTML tags (asks about "br"s from <br> tags) but seems to know to ignore things like "
How to set up an ODBC Data Source in Windows:
1. MS Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> ODBC Data Sources (32 bit)
2. Drivers tab, scroll down and select Oracle ODBC Driver
3. OK
4. User DSN tab, Add...
5. Select Oracle ODBC Driver and Finish
6. Make up a data source name (example: src)
7. Enter a description for it
8. For Service name, put what your service name is (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'svc')
9. For UserID, put your user id (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'usr')
10. Ignore the rest of the fields, click OK
11. Another OK.
How to use Access to Spell Check an ODBC Data Source Field:
0. Install Access from (MS Office 2000).
1. Start Access (by the way, you might find it way down the list in Start -> Programs).
2. Open file, in the file type box, scroll to the end: ODBC Databases. You'll get a dialog.
3. Machine Data Source tab, select the name you gave it (src in step 6 above)
4. You'll be prompted for the password (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'passwd')
5. Select from the huge list of every table the table you want. Ok.
5.a. If the table has no key, you'll be prompted for the unique key from a list of all fields.
6. Double click the item that has just been added to the dialog that remains on the screen. It'll have a globe next to text like USR_TABLENAME. This brings up a randomly sized first chunk of the table.
7. To make sure you get the entire table, on the paging buttons on the bottom (|< < > >| >*), click >*. It may take a few moments to get a huge table.
8. Click the heading of the field (column) you want to spell check). This selects the entire column.
9. Hit spell check (ABC checkmark tool or Tools -> Spelling)
10. Check away. The changes are made immediately to the database.
11. Close the table display window.
