Spell-check as in iOS available?

Post by Nitsson »

I'm running the Smart Keyboard trial as I'm looking for an alternative to the default keyboard on my new Galaxy S2, but I do wonder if there is a spell-check function available? Ideally I'm looking for something like in iOS4 (I'm a former iPhone user) or in common text editors where incorrectly spelt words are underlined, and a tap brings up a list of suggestions.

Any insight is much appreciated.

In Android the keyboard is not tightly integrated with the display (by the way that's why you can easily use alternative keyboards!), as it is in iOS. Suggestions can only be displayed in the dedicated prediction bar of the keyboard, not when you tap the word directly in the text display box.

Fair enough. "It's a feature, not a bug", as they say :)
