Spelling corrector lazy

As many of you, I am in love with the spelling corrector on the iPod touch. I got used to touch-typing so quickly!... until I noticed something.
Theres times when the corrector just doesn't... correct. It stops completely. No correcting "ipod" to "iPod", no changing the case in "i" to "I" (in sentences like "I am a lazy person"). Have you guys been experiencing this? It's happened to me very frequently. I thought I might just share with you guys.
Also, when I put the keyboard in Spanish, it doesn't correct... or so I thought. It's corrected ONE miserable word. It was weird to see it corrected it when I had the keyboard in Spanish; I was used to correcting errors myself. It was like a celebration. But, as I said, it's only corrected one single word.

Changed censored word to "person".

my problem recently has been trying to figure out how to accept the spelling changes. Currently im using the space bar but using it gets annoying cause it leaves a space.
Thoughts?

  • Hello! I bought a MacBook Air few days ago. I really need french spelling corrector, what shall I do to get it?

    I have Russian spelling corrector and English one, but I need a French one, because sometimes I forget to put some accents, so I need help.

    To activate spellcheck for most languages you just go to system preferences > keyboard > text > spelling and set it to the one you want.  French is certainly already there.  For each app you can also go to Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar and set the dictionary to French.
    Some non-Apple apps, like MS Word, have their own systems, you will need to check their help or the forums that deal with them.

  • Bridge Email Limitations - Spelling & Copy/Paste

    Another thing that needs to be corrected (maybe I'm just missing the ability) before this truly can go corporate wide is the ability in email via the bridge to correct misspelled words and copy/paste. The spell changes is a bigger issue. I know it works on the applications on the device, but its a big need in email. Again hopefully this will be corrected in a software update in the near future.

    I found in the bridge mode when writing emails the spelling errors would show with a red underline. But, I found the spelling corrector does not work.
    It is possible to copy and paste in the bridge mode. The process is very much like in the Word To Go program. You can look up the details for this in the help system.
    I found getting around for critical positions with the touch screen to be a bit critical, and slows me down. Using the spell corrector, or copy and paste takes extra effort.
    In consideration that the Playbook is a new technology, and from what I have been told and read the operating software and programs will be going through much development, the inovation of this device is genius. I do enjoy using it, and find it to be an excellent small computer for emails, writing basic text files, and browsing the net.
    I managed to get the Playbook GPS working with the Bing Maps program. I downloaded a free compas program. Because of the size of the screen, it makes for an excellent GPS device. From what I found the GPS worked only when outside, and using the Playbook in the tethered mode so it can download the necessary map and function data.

  • Can anyone recommend a simple Notes/To Do List app

    Hello,
    I am going crazy looking for a very simple To Do List / Notes app for my iPhone that does what I want it to do. I have spent hours in the Apps store and downloaded over 12 so far, and have not found the right one. Can anyone recommend one that:
    -allows for unlimited lists (To Do Home; To Do Out; Grocery List; Xmas Gift List etc).
    -allows you to manually SORT these lists by dragging them above or below the other items.
    -allows you to enter unlimited items (or a large number of items) within each list
    -allows for more than one line of text for each list item (not one line with ". . . ."after it)
    -allows you to manually SORT these sublist items.
    -opens directly to the page with all lists
    -is attractive (even a cute, "mom" way is fine)
    -has the auto spelling corrector
    I don't care about due dates, syncing with calendars or any other fancy stuff. I basically want it to do what the basic yellow Notes app does, but just with sorting capability.
    Thank you very much!

    If a site is sending you spam, it has nothing to do with browsing the web; they can't track you down or discover your email address or anything about you, so you don't need a proxy server. They got your email address somewhere, so if your email provider is Gmail or even Yahoo! Mail, you can block them from sending based on their domain and then you won't see anything from them. If your email provider is your ISP, they can block those for you if you call them and ask them to do it.

  • Colours for Line Chart

    I am trying to create comparative line charts for yearly data over at least a decade (i.e. at least 10 individual lines on one chart).
    Any lines over six don't print. The unprinted lines have a colour allocated against them in the associated table, but not in the chart legend - the labels do appear in the legend.
    I have been trying to manipulate the Chart Colours… (which does appear to be restricted to six) without any success.
    (P.S. For any American readers - my spelling corrector is automatically inserting the 'u' in colours.)

    You may dislike it if you wish (we are free) but this will not change the program design.
    However you can have the medal if you tell me how to superpose charts - I can't find that in the Users Guide.
    It was described here many times.
    (1) build the two charts
    (2) strip every titles, legends,… from one of them
    (3) adjust the min and max values if necessary (on both axis)
    (4) select the chart which you strip then from the format bar define its background to none so it will be transparent.
    (5) drag the 'transparent' chart above the 'complete' one.
    If you don't group them, they will remain 'living' charts which will evolve with changes in datas.
    I didn't checked but I assume that grouping them will freeze them.
    If the medal is made of TRUE chocolate, I'm interested.
    It it is made of the brown mixture which is sold as 'chocolate' in the USA, I am not

  • My Magic Trackpad won't do all the Lion gestures.

    I can do Swipe between pages and Show Desktop and Launchpad, but not Mission Control or App Expose.  All gestures work on the MB Air 13, but not on the Magic Trackpad.  Any ideas?

    I have a similar problem. The zooming  in/out does not work, or is very slow on my iMac 2010.
    In preferences all is checked. The swiping of pages is not working.
    And comparing with my iPad, the gestures on on my magic trackpad are very poor indeed!
    Not what I expected.

    btw: the spelling corrector in this reply is not working, so excuse my spelling and grammar.
             Could this be caused by Lion?

  • How can I work in several languages in Macbook pro late 2011

    Well I am a student that is currently using differnt languagues in the macbook pro
    I need to write in spanish and english at the same time I mean.. I sometimes have to be working with a document in english and one other in spanish and it's really hard for me because when I am writing in Spanish when I have set up the English language the check of the spelling is always changing the word and stuff.
    I have to work both at the same time, I have try to use English and in the correct spelling spanish and just changing but sometimes it does not work with
    I need to have the spelling corrector available because I make mistakes .. I am a human...
    If you have any idea about what I am taking about I will thank you so much!
    Best,

    What apps are you talking about?  Word processor apps often have their own settings for spellcheck language.
    For OS X itself, the best you can do is go to system preferences/language & text/text/spelling and use the set-up option at the bottom of the list to check boxes for English and Spanish only and see if the Automatic setting will work.  Also many apps let you set the dictionary in Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.

  • Types wrong thing in word

    Hello -
    Currently I'm trying to write a report for school about Uluru... I tried typing a title in Times New Roman small caps in a table. However, when I tried to type " - Uluru" it came up as "Pluru". It kept doing this each time I typed a dash, then a space and then a capital letter. Then when I typed in all capitals after the dash and a space it came up saying different things such as "PORT HICAL", "VIS HICAL", "PGRAPHICAL" and "VIS GSFGFGS" (this is all holding down one key with caps lock on) and some others i've forgotten there were some more words.
    Its really annoying because even if I change it back, it changes to Pluru in about 2 minutes again anyway.
    So if anyone has any info it would be much appreciated.
    By the way, I am using Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac version 11.3.5
    Thankyou
    (I just got another random assortment of letters:
    "PENDIXAPHYGS"
    also: the letters overlap or are spread out sometimes)

    Thanks for replying
    It's quite weird....
    There's nothing in preferences about a spelling-corrector that replaces what I write. or anything to do with all the weird things that come up. Also, when I type a capital letter after the dash and a space and then I just hold down space, it comes up with the same jargon as before but after a few spaces is starts to delete what it's written.
    oh and also, when I copy and paste it, it comes up with what I actually typed in. So maybe it's just a graphics thing i don't know.... But when I print, it comes up with the jargon

  • Syncing function in Pages

    Does anyone know how to sync between Pages on my laptop and desktop other than use the network to copy and paste? I have created template on and added to the spelling corrector on the desktop but these changes do not appear on the laptop. Is there a way around this?
    Steve (Paris)

    At this time, even use an iDisk to store iWork's created documents is not a viable soluce.
    We may store these docs on the iDisk but when we try to grab them it fails because the used system is unable to treat correctly the package's structure.
    My guess is that given this structure we will not see a sync tool usable with them.
    Of course, one may write an applescript saving on both medias each time you want to save something.
    I will not do that because I'm unaware of networks behavior.

  • How can i change the spelling language, (Separately from the computers language)

    I have tried changing the spelling to spanish but it still has the corrector for english. As i write sometimes english and sometimes spanish i want to know how to change the entire spelling language in my computer.

    Spelling language may be changed per application, not globally. First of all, deactivate automatic spelling, if you use more languages (I am not satisfied with this, perhaps because I also use custom keyboard layouts beside the default ones) in Sys Prefs/Language and Text.
    Then, choose spelling language per app, this is usually placed in Edit/spelling and grammar; Pages has it somewhere else, under TExt/More (right option), then spelling language down right. For examnple, my spelling options in Safari, when writing this text, are as attached:

  • Is it possible to download French email corrector ?

    ''italic text''Just installed Mozilla Firefox on my PC in English , is it possible to add the French grammar corrector ? Thank you

    Firefox doesn't correct grammar. Firefox has a spell checking dictionary that gives an indication if a word is not found. You can install a French dictionary and switch to that dictionary if you need to check words in French.

  • How can I activate the spell corrector as I write in Microsoft word?

    How can I activate the spell corrector as I write in Microsoft word?

    Everything you need is in the Spelling and Grammar preference pane, within Word's Preferences.
    Check the boxes, "Check spelling as you type", & "Always suggest corrections".
    As well, there is a button for checking the document, called "Check Document", which you can use on an existing document that has not been checked yet.

  • Pages '08 - spelling in British English

    Hi,
    In Pages '08 when I open a word file I go to Inspector ---> Text ---> More ---> Language
    I change this to British English as the american one always brings up spelling errors. The problem is that the change sometimes doesn't stick. In any case even if it does, the second I go to a new line it automatically reverts back to 'English'. Thus I want to know how to make the change permanent for at least this document if it's not possible to make it for Pages entirely.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Alex M

    If any readers of my previous posting are wondering what I have ended up doing to resolve this problem. It’s thanks to Magnus in another thread, that I have set myself up with a Template, configured to spell check in British English, every time I open Pages. This is what he suggested:
    If you want all new documents to use spell checking of another language, you have to go through the following steps, for each template you intend to use.
    1. Open a new document with the template you want to use.
    2. Open the Styles Drawer (View > Show Styles Drawer).
    3. Select the first style in the list. (This is often "Free Form".)
    4. Change the language in the inspector as described above.
    5. Click on the red triangle to the right of the style name in the Style Drawer, and in the menu that pops up, choose "Redefine Style from Selection".
    6. Repeat steps 3-5 for every Paragraph Style in the Style Drawer.
    7. Go to File > Save as Template, and choose a good name of the template.
    8. If you have only one template you always want to use, you can choose it in Pages > Preferences > General > For New Documents, where you select "Use template:..." and then click on Choose... and choose the template.
    Note that you can have several styles in the same document for different languages. You can for example have one style called "French body" and another called "Italian body". You can even associate shortcuts to the styles, in the Styles drawer, so you quickly can change between one language and another. 
    So far it works very well for me. It seems to be the best answer until Apple gets around to having Pages work completely in British English... or other language forms... automatically, without the user having to constantly highlight and self-check their work as they proceed through a document.
