Craig Petrick Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 How can a person modify the spell check feature by removing words from the user "Learn"? I have some words that were accepted in error (user malfunction). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristin Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 @Nathan Parker and @Craig Petrick, It doesn't matter if it is a Mac or Windows, Accordance supposedly uses the computers spell check, which it flat out won't, so there is no way to have Notes and Tools spell checked.

Kristin Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Hi @Nathan Parker, Just to clarify, spell check works 100% perfectly on the Mac on EVERY program except Accordance. Accordance simply does not spell check. Rick clarified this to me a few years ago that Accordance doesn't spell check, supposedly since multiple languages can be used on Notes. That is true, but my computer spell checks perfectly fine in whatever language I type an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 My comment above was in reference to @Craig Petrick’s original post. However, I did file your feedback on the issues with Spell Check in Accordance so we can look at better addressing it in a future update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Petrick Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Tried the suggestion and the incorrect words are not there. A short list that does not accurately reflect what I have added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I’m asking a Mac mailing list to see if there are any other places on the Mac’s spell checker you need to check. I’ll let you know what I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick clarified this to me a few years ago that Accordance doesn't spell check, supposedly since multiple languages can be used on Notes. That is true, but my computer spell checks perfectly fine in whatever language I type an email. The limitation regarding spelling has to do with Accordance's older proprietary Notes and User Tools format, not the multiplicity of langauges. This format is not currently compatible with the global spelling checker in macOS. You can check spelling in Papers, however (Search: Spelling) as the underlying format for Papers is both newer and a different format. Edited March 4, 2023 by R.

Kristin Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Thank you for clarifying that, @R. Mansfield. It can be obnoxious that I am never sure if a Note has an issue or not, but the reason makes sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 We could eventually possibly look into a newer file-format for Notes and User Tools that is more compatible with OS’ spell checkers, but that would definitely take some extra time to do. I’ll add it to our feature requests list though as something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
