Spell Check - Please add!
Please add the ability to spell check (similiar to MS word) in UDF's and other locations where text is entered. We link UDF's to printed forms and often they contain spelling errors - we look like morons.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Andrew
guess it cant be done

How do I change the default language for spell-checker please?
I have seen the instructions below but cannot find the Personalization section?
I currently have a US English spell-checker, I need a UK English one.
Changing The Default Language
Make sure you are on your homescreen.
Tap on the Settings app to open the Settings App.
Scroll to the Personalization section.
Tap on Language.Have just found that if you select Install Language Pack but then, do NOT download it, just below and to the right of "Download Now" is "View other versions".
Click on that and the second item is Version28.0
Hover your mouse on that and you get " + Add to Firefox" - so select that. -
Auto complete/spell check trouble
How do I get the spell check function to stop telling me that my daughter's name is spelled wrong! The auto correct keeps trying to change it and it is making me crazy. Is there any way to get it to recognize her name?
hello, ok.. first of all, i havent figured out how to make the spell check function add words to it's system. of course you can make this stop by going to "Settings" ---> "General" ---> "Keyboard" from there you choose the settings on the spelling functions. So far, i've searched & there's no way you can make it recognize a name or anything. hope this helps

Please add "iPhone" to the spell check dictionary.
The forums spell checker is flagging iPhone, which is an Apple product name. Please add it to the dictionary.

As you don't run a Mac I can only suggest that you add them yourself - after all you only have to do it once!
Umm, I want to be as "constructive" as possible, so I'll clarify my statement. My suggestion referred to the web based spell checker built into the apple discussions site. It's the little "ABC" checkmark icon between underline and quote. This application does not run on anyone's local machine, (Mac or other)- it's web based.
On the server, it contains a database of all the words that are spelled correctly, along with thousands of suggestions for how to correctly spell words that aren't correct.
Apple generally takes very good care to make the user experience seamless and well thought out. Unfortunately in this case, it's failure to include it's own brand names like "phone" seems careless or at least sloppy. If you look beyond just it's own product names like "iMac", you'll also discover than common feature words like WiFi, GSM and dozens of other words which are commonly used in these forums are also missing. I'm trying to help Apple give the most professional image possible.
As for your comment, immediatly replying that I'm not using a Mac so too bad seems to run counter to the desire of this community, beyond the fact that you don't understand this application. If the goal is to encourage Windows, (or in my case Linux), users to move to OSX, then you might want to be or encouraging and not so dismissive. If your goal is to alienate potential customers perhaps you're ideally suited for the Linux user community who's elitist ugliness for NOOBS is legendary.

I want to know how to delete words from the custom dictionary in the spell checker that I put there by mistake.
In your profile directory, the file is '''persdict.dat''' and you should know how to get to your profile. One way is to enter '''about:support''' in the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder". Or go through the Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > ...
You can edit with wordpad, or notepad++, but not with notepad,
because there is one word per line and you will not see that in notepad after Firefox has updated it. Update after closing Firefox.
I will have to change my Spell Check documentation to not suggest notepad

Spell checker stopped working, how can I fix this please
Help please for above question
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.
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*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:

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.

How do I add an entry to the auto correct spell check dictionary?
How do I add an entry to the auto-correct dictionary for spell check?
The suggestion from Encrypted11 is for adding a keyboard shortcut, if that is what you want to do. If you want to add a custom word to the keyboard dictionary ....
The iPad Dictionary
The iPad has a dictionary built in. As you type, it compares what you've typed against the words in that dictionary. If it finds a partial match, it displays a suggestion just beneath what you have typed.
If you accept the suggestion by tapping the Space or full stop, great.
If you allow the 'mistake' to stand, the second time you type the same word and reject the correction, iPad adds the new word to its custom, dynamic dictionary. From now on, it will accept the new word and will even suggest it the next time you type something like it.
That is copied from here.

The send and spell check options are next to each other. I can not tell you how many times I hit the send button be accident. When sending, and question of 'Are you sure you want to send now?', should be asked.
ThanksActually, unless something has changed, you can set Thunderbird to run an automatic spell check when you click Send. That might be your best workaround.
Tools menu > Options > Composition panel > Spelling mini-tab
(You can display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key)
It might also be possible to customize the toolbar, but I think this might be safer.
Regarding a general confirmation for sending, I noticed some add-ons for that, but I don't have any personal recommendations. -
Spell checker help, PLEASE
I have a MacBook Pro Unibody with OSX 10.6.8, and my spell checking system went away. I also have cocoAspell 2.1 installed too. Neither one is working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but what I REALLY LIKES was having all of my misspelled words and grammatical errors show up with a red line underneath them. That's the way it used to be. The red lines showed up in Word, Mail, or any other text entry application. I tried re-installing cocAspell and still nothing. When I control-click on a text entry fiels the MANUAL spell checker window opens up, but it's blank and catches nothing. Help - I don't knonw what I'm doing wrong, and my spelling *****! It's embarrassing. I need advice on finding a fix, whether it's in OSX or an inexpensive 3rd party spell checker (I can't find any under $35)
Thanks for Any help you can provide.
Message was edited by: SFjoe1966Open Safari in iPhone, and open a new browser (very important!). Now tap the Google search field and start typing the word you want to add to the dictionary. Tap “Google” button to launch the search. Now you can close Safari, and the word should be in your dictionary.
