We’re happy to announce that we just released build 6 of ApSIC Xbench 3.0 spell-checking dictionaries. With this build, we are also introducing a new concept: Fusion Spell-checking<\/i>. <\/p>\n
Fusion Spell-checking<\/i> is indeed a very simple, yet powerful concept: Hunspell dictionaries are very, very fast, but sometimes they wrongly flag a few words as misspellings. For some languages, they can even issue a large number of false positives if that particular dictionary is of lower quality. <\/p>\n
And here is where Microsoft Word enters the stage: Whenever Hunspell thinks that a word is a misspelling, it will check Microsoft Word if it also agrees<\/b>. The offending word will appear on Xbench spell-checking reports only if they both agree<\/b>.<\/p>\n
This collaborative work of Hunspell and Microsoft Word effectively means that there are fewer false positives<\/b> in the spell-checking report.<\/p>\n
Please note that Fusion Spell-checking<\/i> requires that Microsoft Word and the relevant language dictionary are installed on the machine.<\/p>\n
You can turn on and off Fusion-Spell-checking<\/i> by choosing Settings->Use Microsoft Word Dictionary<\/b> in the window that appears when you run a spell-check pass.<\/p>\n
To download the latest spell-checking dictionary, open Xbench, choose Tools->Spell-checking Dictionaries<\/b>, choose your language and then click Update<\/b> (or Install<\/b> if you do not have it yet installed). <\/p>\n
We hope you enjoy using this new feature! Please check it out and do not hesitate to contact us<\/a> if you find any issues.<\/p>\n
