Notes Spell Check

IBM have announced that they now have a single spell check engine that will cover, Notes, Sametime and Symphony.  This is of course sensible and make life easier for all.  However there are issues that you need ot be aware of, these are delt with in the IBM Wiki for Spelling.  Please have a look.

Ed Brill recently comment on this and said:

In Notes 8.5.1, we changed the client's spell check engine.  The new engine is also used by Symphony and Sametime.  It is based on IBM's own LanguageWare tools, and gives us a lot more flexibility.

A number of additional languages are available to plug into the new spell check engine.  Technote 1411732 explains how to find those and install them.  They are basically provisioned through the same approach as sidebar plug-ins and other updates to the Eclipse-based Notes 8 environment.

Almar Diehl saw the technote and suggested using the widget catalog as another way to distribute additional dictionaries. 

 

What would be reall good is of you only had a single dictionary for your corrections across all you products, but I guess that that will come in time.
