Spell Check Settings
To change Spell Check settings in Control Panel, you need to enter the master
password, which you can set using AlphaSmart Manager.
You can change these spell check settings:
• Turn Spell Check off and on. To change this setting, move the cursor
next to it and press enter. If spell check was on, it will turn off; if it was off,
this will turn it on again. When spell check is off and you attempt to use it
in AlphaWord Plus, the NEO will notify you that spell check is off.
• Turn add words to user dictionary off and on. By changing this
setting, you are choosing whether users can add words to the user
dictionary while doing a spell check in AlphaWord Plus. If spell check finds
a word that isn’t in its dictionary, but the user knows that word is spelled
correctly, the user can usually press A to add that word to the user
dictionary so it isn’t marked as misspelled again in the future. If you have
turned off this ability, the user cannot add the word to the user dictionary.
To change the setting, simply move the cursor next to it and press enter to
change it from “on” to “off” or from “off” to “on.” Then, press any key to
leave the screen.
• Delete user dictionary. This setting deletes the user dictionary. Use
caution when selecting this setting; you can’t recover a user dictionary
that’s been deleted. (You can, however, send a new user dictionary to NEOs
using AlphaSmart Manager. See the AlphaSmart Manager 2 User Manual
for details.)
• Add new word to user dictionary. This setting lets you add words to
the user dictionary, one word at a time. To use it, move the cursor next to
the setting and press enter. Then, enter one word you want to add and
press enter; the NEO will notify you that the word has been added. Press
any key to leave the setting. Repeat these actions for each word you want to
add.
Note: If you have a big list of words you want to add, it’s more efficient to
create a text file of words and send it to your NEO using AlphaSmart
Manager.
