Installing additional spell check dictionaries

Post by Jim Bretti »

Installs for TextAloud 3 and TextAloud 4 include a spell check dictionary for American English. Additional spell check dictionaries are available at http://www.addictivesoftware.com/dl-dictionaries.htm. You'll find dictionaries for other languages as well as some specialized dictionaries such as technical and legal.

To install a dictionary, download any of the dictionaries http://www.addictivesoftware.com/dl-dictionaries.htm to your machine. Each dictionary download is a single zip file. Run TextAloud 3, and from the menu, click Help -> Open Data Folder. Unzip the contents of the downloaded zip files into this folder, then exit and restart TextAloud to pick up the new dictionary(s).

To configure which spell check dictionaries are active:

If you're running TextAloud 3, click Tools -> Advanced Options -> Configure Spell Check. Dictionaries can be configured on the Spelling Options dialog.

If you're running TextAloud 4, click Control Center -> Configure Spell Check. On the Spelling Options dialog click the Language tab. You can choose the language dictionary and additional spell check dictionaries on the Language tab.
