Spell Checker needed

Does antone know of a spell checker that can be used in a web page to check the text in user input text boxes?

I doubt very much you'd find a Javascript spell-checker, and if you did you wouldn't want to use it because the download time for the dictionary words would be horrendous. So you'd want to upload the text box to the server and do the checking there (I think Hotmail, or one of the Internet mail services, does exactly that). That gives you more freedom in how you can implement it. As for does one exist, a Google search for "java spelling check utility" suggests the answer is "Yes".

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.

64-bit Spell checker in OPPM v9-Sp1 works, but need Custom Dictionary

My client adopted Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management (formerly ProSight) -- which is NOT P6, a couple of years ago. It entered production with v.8.0 which had a spell-checker included but which does not work with the approved 64-bit O/S (ie: Windows Server 64-bit). After being disappointed with the v.9.0 release also not supporting 64-bit O/S, the recently released v.9.0-Sp1 finally does. Good news!
I have the instructions (“Primavera Portfolio Management 8.0 Customizing the Spelling Checker.pdf”) for adding a custom dictionary to the system, but cannot find any information on doing this for OPPM v.9.0-Sp1.
Does anyone know if the same instructions still work, or where I can get new instructions for adding a custom dictionary (to avoid having the users need to add many new terms, including their own misspelled ones)?
Thanx in advance.
Rob

Hi Sachin:
Actually, after my message yesterday, I managed to find the document, buried in with the OPPM technical docs. Looks identical to the OPPM v.8 version. Thanx for your help.
Now that I have poked around a little more, I realized that I haven't seen anything about how to EDIT the dictionary files once created. How does one clean them up of accidentally (or unintentionally) added mis-spelled words? Every other application I've ever used with a spell checker has that function somewhere, but I can't see it in OPPM.
Any info on this issue? Thanx in advance.

(Actually, to me it sounds like you have a Set of correctly spelled words and another Set of words which may or may not be correctly spelled, and you want the difference...)That is what it sounds like to me also, and that is easy.

What do i need to do to cancel the spell check before the mail is sent

What do I need to do to cancel the spell check before mail is sent

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, just confirming that you realize you can always access your AOL email account by going directly to www.aol.com from the Safari browser (or Firefox, Chrome, etc.) until you get the Apple Mail problem fixed.
If you cannot connect directly through a browser, it's quite possible that AOL is doing maintenance or having a temporary problem. It happens with surprising frequency to most online hosts. I usually check downrightnow.com, but AOL is not one of the services for which they collect trouble reports.
Reconnecting your Apple Mail to your AOL account:
In the Apple Mail menubar, click on the Mailbox, Get New Mail, and highlight the AOL account.
You should see the 'spinning wheel' next to the account name for a moment while your AOL mail is retrieved.
That should successfully reconnect you.
Occasionally my ISP seems to corrupt a few packets and I'll get a message that all my external email account password are rejected, and asks me to re-enter them. Instead of re-entering passwords, I click 'cancel', and use this same procedure to re-connect.
NOTE: I'm on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6, and Mail 4.5 (1084) but I believe the process to reconnect did not change since OS X 10.5 Leopard.

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:

I need language dictionnaries for spell checking/correcting. I have firefox nightly v.27.0a1. Should I keep this version and wait or go back to classic firefox?

The French and Arabic dictionaries seem to be not compatible with firefox nightly. I have the latest version: 27.0a1. Will updates be made in the coming future to fix that?
Many thanks by advance!
A loyal firefox user.

Do you confirm that I should download and use firefox "classic" version instead of nightly to be able to install the French / Arabic dictionary add-ons for spell checking/correcting when writing in the browser?

I'm trying to help a person in Sweden, who presumably has a Swedish version of Firefox, and needs an English spell checker. How can this be accomplished?

The person is Swedish, so it makes sense to have the Swedish version, but she is contributing to Wikipedia, and making a number of spelling errors. I am trying to help her, so that she can optionally turn on an English spellchecker. I see how to add other language packs to my version, so it may be that she has to look for the comparable page on her browser? If that works and she installs a language pack, how does one turn it on or off? She is a self-confessed computer illiterate, so I would like to give her precise advice.

Need South Africa (Afr) spell checker

Most of my correspondence is in afrikaans and therefore the spell checker work against me. I have disabled this in General settings but when using Messages app it still does spell check. (Mails works fine) I assume Messages use spell check even though it has been disabled.
Therefore if there is an Afrikaans spell checker I can select this to resolve the Messages app issue.

I'm hoping that Apple will add this as well... but also take it one step further and add complete Afrikaans localisation!
Make sure you let Apple know as well via

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

Ihave firefox 3.6.8 spell check used to work on hotmail but I had to uninstall firefox and reload it now spell check does not work on hotmail . I have installed the dictionaryadd on

I can't gte spell check to work it just says
Most browsers check for spelling mistakes automatically. Look for the words that are flagged by red lines and right-click them to see suggestions. Note that with some browsers, you may need to download a dictionary.
I have done this

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.

How to use multiple languages at the same time for spell checking?

I use two different languages all the time and words are mostly so different (English and Finnish) that I could have spell checking on for both languages at the same time.
Now it seem to allow to select only one language at the time and I have to switch back and fort zillion of times per day.

Thanks for the quick answer.
The Dictionary Switcher doesn't seem to work with Finnish language, it doesn't detect it at all to be one of the choices although in the Firefox context menu Languages -> Finnish/Finland is shown.
Also, if it would work, I would need to get rid of multiple EN_* langauges. I just need EN_UK or EN_US, not all 22 different EN_*.
One option would be to create a custom dictionary, which would have words from both languages. The next task is then to find out how to make this kind of custom ENFI-dictionary, which would have words from both English and Finnish languages.
Finnish may be a some kind of special case for spell checking anyway, because the support is in its separate plugin:
