Spell Check issue

Post by m3ta »

For some reason spellcheck is only working for the Microsoft voices, when using the acapela voice I bought it does not register the words as misspelled.
I use a US keyboard, and the voice is an UK voice (I like it better for reading) - how can I fix this?

Also the automatically correct spelling errors as you type is not working even on the Microsoft voices.

There is an update available that should help with this problem. The update is version 4.0.13.3, which you can download from https://nextup.com/files/ta4.exe.

This update should fix the problem that prevents the default English spell check dictionary from working with your UK English voice.

Also, when you right click a misspelled work, the popup menu now includes an auto-correct submenu to make it easier to add auto corrections. This was available previously only from Control Center -> Perform Spell Check.

If auto corrections are not working at all, be sure the auto correct option is selected in spell check options. From the TextAloud menu click Control Center -> Configure Spell Check. Be sure the second option from the top, "Automatically correct spelling errors as you type", is selected.
