David Porter Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 This would help me - see my Aylesford Priory A/V on SSC. Mickp
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 You'll be lucky, been asking for this for over 5 years!!! Yachtsman1
Lin Evans Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 Though we would all love to see spellcheck - keep in mind that PTE is a multi-language software. A totally different reference dictionary then would need to be present for each language by PTE users. Today that is thirteen different languages. It could be extremely difficult and perhaps expensive to implement so that it would make everyone happy. Best regards, Lin
Urmas Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 Having to work in multilingual environment all the time, I usually prepare text in text processing software where I can use the corresponding spell an grammar check. Later I just paste that text to PTE (or other application). Usually, the text is not that long in (my) slideshows, often just few words and often these words not in spelling dictionary. Urmas
Lin Evans Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 Hi Urmas, I do likewise and I also use "TinySpell" which is a freeware and works well with PTE depending on the language and available dictionary. I generally use English so being the default - for English speaking PTE users this is a viable solution. Here's a link to download and learn more about this: http://tinyspell.numerit.com/ For a small fee ($10 USD) a more advanced version can be purchased which uses Hunapell dictionaries in multiple languages... Best regards, Lin
Urmas Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 Hi, Lin! Thank you for the link of very interesting software. Did not know about it. Actually, tinySpell+ enables to use dictionaries available for Open/Libre Office and Mozilla. It means spelling for almost any language. Should be more than enough for PTE. Urmas
David Porter Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Posted March 28, 2016 Good point, Lin. I guess I will have to improve my spelling! Mickp
Lin Evans Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 Hi Mick, Why don't you download and try "TinySpell?" It works great with PTE and the free version defaults to English.... Best regards, Lin
David Porter Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks for that Lin. Works well, separately highlighting word spelt incorrectly and giving options when you click on it. Mickp
