NEW FEATURE: Spell Checking Is Finally Here! - General Tiki

H hanford_lemoore Tiki Socialite Tiki Central Joined: Mar 23, 2002 Posts: 1899	H hanford_lemoore Posted posted on Mon, Jul 18, 2005 8:15 PM Hi TC, I'm happy to report that after many years of requests, Spell Checking is finally here. I'm rolling it out for BETA testing. Here's how to use it: Click Spell Check at the bottom of screen (it appears on New Topic, Reply, and Edit). You'll be presented with your message with misspelled words appearing inside a drop-down box. Your original word is displayed in the drop down with a star () after it. Simply choose the correct words from the drop-downs, and click "Finish Spellcheck". note: * The system already recognizes a lot of tiki-centric words supplied by the Critiki database. There is also a detection system that allows me to monitor unrecognized words that TCers choose to use. This will help us expand the dictionary of accepted words over time. PLEASE DO NOT email me with words to add. This is a feature that has been requested for a long time and is available to everyone. This should help out not just in day-to-day reading and posting, but also improving search results long term. I'd like to thank our Grand Members for pitching in money for help with the development costs associated with advanced features like this. This was no small feat ... and in fact I never thought I'd be able to add it to Tiki Central. But here it is! Please let me know what you think, and if you run into any problems with it. ~Hanford [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore 2005-07-18 20:21 ]

Hi TC,

I'm happy to report that after many years of requests, Spell Checking is finally here. I'm rolling it out for BETA testing.

Here's how to use it:

Click Spell Check at the bottom of screen (it appears on New Topic, Reply, and Edit).
You'll be presented with your message with misspelled words appearing inside a drop-down box.
Your original word is displayed in the drop down with a star (*) after it.
Simply choose the correct words from the drop-downs, and click "Finish Spellcheck".

**note: ** The system already recognizes a lot of tiki-centric words supplied by the Critiki database. There is also a detection system that allows me to monitor unrecognized words that TCers choose to use. This will help us expand the dictionary of accepted words over time. PLEASE DO NOT email me with words to add.
