Spell checker management

Dictionaries are automatically loaded during the EngageOne™ installation process and spell check management allows you to configure how you want these to be used.

You can select a dictionary language and display either a list of abbreviations, or additional words. These can be supplemented as required.

Any new word added to the dictionary will be flagged as correctly spelled when the spell checker finds the word. Unwanted spell check words can be removed from the spell check history and consequently from the list of suggested spell checker word results. A spell check performed by the Interactive Editor user will spell check all prompt text only.

You can also add an alternative to a regular word, for example, a common misspelling of that word, or one that is a regional variation. In such a case you enter the “correct” word for your dictionary first, leave a space and follow it on the same line with the “incorrect variation”. If the spell checker finds the second (incorrect) word it will automatically be replaced with the “correct” one.

You can import new dictionaries if they have been updated and need to be replaced. You can export a dictionary, for example, if you need to send it to EngageOne Support, or you might use this option to migrate a dictionary to a new environment. An imported dictionary is specific to the current community.

Dictionaries are community specific, so if you modify abbreviations or add additional words, those changes only affect the current community. When you create a new community the default dictionary is associated with that community.
