Spell Checker broken

Ever since I upgraded to 10.4.5, the spell check doesnt work as well. Simple things that were caught before, like letters being transposed, are now not listed.
Sometimes it finds the error, but doesnt have a suggestion whereas in the past it did.
What gives?

no answer at all, sort of like the functionality of the spell checker.

  • Spell check broken after IOS 6.0.1 update

    After updating one of our iPads to 6.0.1 the spell checking no longer works.  All of the settings (under keyboard) relating to spell checking, capitalization, "." are ON but none of these features work in any program.  I powered off the iPad and restarted it but these features no longer work.  I tried turning the features off and then on but no luck here.  Our other iPad and both iPhones are on IOS 6.0 and these features work just fine.  I don't plan to upgrade to 6.0.1 on these devices until we determine what broke in the 6.0.1 update.  Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. 

    Ok, this is a bit wierd.  After  ckuan's reply, I was going to try the suggestion.  When I turned on the iPad, before trying the suggestion, I find that spell checking is working as it should.  The iPad had ben on standby for several days but not completely powered off.  Don't you just love "self fixing" issues.  Wished I knew exactally what happened.  Anyway, thanks ckuan for the suggestion.

  • Spell check broken. Staying in italian!

    The other day, I switched the nationality of my iphone from USA to ITALIAN... played around for a little while, then switched it back to USA...
    but ever since then, the dictionary has been trying to be italian... it did not go back to the USA dictionary for spell check!

    Did you UNCHECK Italian when switching back to English? Check to be sure only English is checked.
    Try Settings/General/Reset - Reset Keyboard Dictionary.

  • In gmail the spell checker underlines the ends of words that are spelled correctly. Annoying at best.

    running firefox 16.0.1 on pc with windows 7. This seems to have started with new version upgrade. In gmail the spell checker highlights last parts of words that are spelled correctly.

    You probably see this bug (fixed in Firefox 21):
    *[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812638 bug 812638] - (font_size_bloat) TB is inserting/adding loads of redundant/incorrect/random <font size="x"> tags in the middle of corrected words (partially erased with backspace or DEL, then retyped) with certain valid font size attributes in HTML message source; causes spelling issues

  • My Spell Check is broken across the entire system

    My spell check seems to be broken across my entire system How do I go about reinstalling that component?

    Make sure that you have selected the correct dictionary.
    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
    Also make sure that [[X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.<br />
    You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.<br />

  • Spell Check is Broken - Right Clicking on Misspelled Word Does Nothing

    MIsspelled words are marked as incorrect in Safari, but when I right-click or control-click I never get a dialog to correct the misspelling. Spell-check works fine in all other apps, such as Mail. Any ideas? I have the problem on two machines. All have had upgrade installs from Tiger to Leopard.

    Hi
    When I right-click on a misspelled word (in this case "now") in a text box, this is what my contextual menu looks like.
    Do you see these choices?

  • Thunderbird spell-checking for non en_US broken

    Hi there,
    Is someone else experiencing issues with spell-checking support for languages other than en_US?
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Go to write and compose a new message
    2. Click on the "Spelling" button in the top toolbar to select the dictionary.
    In that selection I used to see all my installed dictionaries. Now I only see English (US).
    Installed dictionaries:
    hunspell 1.3.3-1
    hunspell-de-de 20131206-1
    hunspell-en-gb 7.1-2
    hunspell-nl-nl 2.10g-1
    hunspell-pl 20120911-2
    Tested with the following versions of Thunderbird:
    thunderbird 31.1.1-1
    thunderbird-beta-bin 33.0b1-1
    It does not seem to be an add-on issue since I also tried it with all add-ons being disabled.
    Other programs still properly use the installed dictionaries.

    With these (latest) versions of official x86_64 packages:
    $ pacman -Qs hunspell
    local/hunspell 1.3.3-1
    Spell checker and morphological analyzer library and program
    local/hunspell-en 7.1-3
    English hunspell dictionaries
    $ pacman -Q thunderbird
    local/thunderbird 31.1.1-1
    Standalone Mail/News reader
    Works okay for me too.

  • Broken in new Safari: Spell Checking and Tabs

    Since upgrading to the newest Safari (2.0.2 (416.12)) I've found two things to not function as they used to:
    1) Spell checking in input boxes (like the one I'm typing in now) doesn't work. Misspelled words are still recognized and underlined in red, but right clicking on them doesn't produce a list of alternative choices like it used to.
    2) When you press apple-w, previous versions of safari would bring the next right-most tab into focus after closing the current window. Now Safari jumps to the last tab you were in. I find the other behavior much more intuitive and predictable. Is there any way to get it back or could this be a problem with Saft (a safari plugin)?
    Thanks,
    Craig

    Thank you so much, Craig and Salvatore! I had been a bit annoyed at the tab function change and really missed the spelling correction change, and was beginning to figure out how to explain the spelling correction problem -- finding Craig's posting of the problems and the answers from both of you was so timely.
    I'm sure Apple isn't happy about a 3rd party add-on "breaking" their product, but I so appreciate the "benefits" of this 3rd-party add-on!

  • Spell Checker No Longer Working in 10.6.4

    Hi,
    after updating to 10.6.4 the spell checker has forgotten all words in German and Spanish. So all my texts are nearly completely underlined in red. This applies to all programs. It however recognizes words from my own dictionary as well as English texts. Other languages I haven't tried. Rebooting did not solve the problem. I haven't touched any language settings in the system settings. What can I do to get back my spell checker?
    Regards,
    Alexander

    I noticed that /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service has decreased in size since a backup from last month (from about 10MB to 3MB). So I restored the old version of this directory from my backup, logged off and on again, and now spell checking works for me again in multiple languages.
    However please note that this is a potentially dangerous procedure. It might be safer to reinstall the operating system manually from scratch (not an automatic restore from the backup - this will just reinstall the broken AppleSpell.service).
    Cheerio,

  • Spell Check and Line Breaks

    Hello,
    When creating a story/text box in ID, I often have lines with soft line breaks (shift-return).
    When I running spell-check, it sees the new, broken line as a new sentence.
    Example,
    "This is my sentence and then
    if I break it like this."
    Spell check will return "if" as an error which needs to be capitalized.
    Is there a way to turn off this aspect of spell check?
    Or some other way to avoid this issue?
    Thank you in advance.

    Nevermind. I think I figured out.

  • Spell check for any application

    Having only just my iphone I can't believe there is no spell check for the mail functionality. Aside from that why is spell check unavailable for yahoo and gmail through the web browser? Any ideas please...

    Move the associated plist files for those applications out of /Library/Preferences/ within your home folder to the Desktop. E.g., com.apple.textedit.plist for TextEdit, quit and relaunch TextEdit, and re-enable spell as you type. If that fixes things, delete the moved file, and do the same with any other apps where it appears to be broken.

  • Spell Checker vi?

    I would like to be able to spell check a string from within labview.
    Has anyone successfully integrated a commercial spell checker (like the
    one MS Office uses) or created one in labview?
    thanks for any input.
    muren

    This has been done. There is a LabVIEW 6.1 example.
    Spell Check a VI or Library
    Description: Spell Checker checks the spelling of VIs and libraries. Items checked include the following: names of control, indicators, free labels on the front panel and block diagrams, and VI descriptions. When the program runs, the user is prompted to choose a VI in memory or from a file. The user is then prompted make spelling changes that are automatically inserted back into the VI.
    Spell Checker works by manipulating the text of the exported string of a VI, parsing off tags within the text, and sending the text to MS Word via activeX. MS Word does all of the spell checking using built in features. When the spell checking is done, the information is then inserted
    into the VI.
    This program was tested using MS Word 2000 (9.0.3821). If the activeX reference is broken on your computer, open up MS Word check spelling.vi, right click on the reference and slide your mouse to select activeX class >> browse. Look for Microsoft Word application on the list. Note: this program may need modifying after the new reference is created.
    Spell Checker can be modified to incorporated into the LabVIEW programming environment. First change the VI properties to run when open and closed if originally closed. Then copy the library into the folder ...\labview X.X\project. Restart LabVIEW, and Spell Checker will be found under the tools menu.

  • I can't use word because a box keeps popping up saying that it can't find the spell check files?

    I open Word and there is a pop-up message saying that word cannot start the spelling checker because the files may be missing and to make sure that the spell checker files are installed or use the Microsoft installer to install spell checker. I have never had this problem with Word before and spell check has always been fine. What should I do?

    Since word is made by Microsoft you should post your question on their own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products:

  • Pages 08 Spell Checker Not Working

    When I started using Pages 08, I turned on the Spelling --> Check Spelling As You Type. One day it stopped to work, in fact I do not know whether it is working or not since the red lines that highlighted incorrectly-spelled text no longer appeared. I tried turning the feature on and off several times, and fiddled with Text Inspector, but have foind no solution to this. Please advise, anyone. Thanks.

    Repairing Permissions did not do anything for me. I have tried various and other sundry things as found in other messages about this major issue w/ Pages, but to no avail. Spell check works fine in other apps, TextEdit for example.
