spell check

Post by jab123 »

would it be too hard to add spell check? for instance you could have the option of spell checking as your typing or after the word is completed. but i would love to have this feature as often the multitouch can't handle the keystroke input when you have two fingers touching the screen, like when you hold down a key like q and try to press j. (known bug). so i'm running into situations where soekk checker would be so much help!

thanks

ps thanks for implementing so many of my feature requests!

Hi
I'm not sure to understand what you want... "soekk" already suggests "spell", it's just that it's not highlighted in the suggestion bar as it is too different from the original word you typed. Suggestions already take into account missed or wrong letters, but it cannot check for all possible combinations as it would be too costly for response time and CPU usage.

hi
well "soekk" although a misspelling and technically is spellchecked, it has very much to do with the proximity of the keys. if i type spjll, and hit the j below where the proximity correct is implemented, a spell check could correct it as "spill" spell check should also work for misspellings not just mistyping? thanks

Well.. technically, that's possible, but as I said it may be too heavy to check for every combination. Think about your battery ;)
