Spellcheck toggle

redeyeshev

I was wondering if we could have the option to toggle the red underlining of misspelled words. When writing, I like to get into the flow of it and not worry about grammar or spelling during the composition stage. I find it a little distracting as I keep going back over to misspelled words rather than just getting my thoughts out first. I know this is my own habit here, but it would help to be able to turn the spell checking on and off as I need it. Thanks.

Second that. My laptop is set for English but I write in Swedish while using Diarium so it becomes quite disturbing with the spellcheck.

Pityrial @redeyeshev You can disable the spell check in your Windows settings. Not sure if I want to set a separate spell check option in the app

Spellcheck in the app (Android) woud be extremely useful!

Hi everyone. I found a solution.

You have to add a 'preferred language' in windows settings/time and language.

Now the words are not underlined.

I would definitely like this option too! Me, as a Finnish person, I type with slang / dialect and most of the words are therefore spelled wrong. I don't want to disable spell check from my windows, since I really do want it to be on for other apps to use. A bit of a hazzle to disable it for the times I use Diarium. Would love to have an option inside the app to disable spell check 100%!

In Windows I have our national language (Nederlands) set and always switched off all spelling checker features (text suggestions off, more-languages text suggestions off, automatic spelling correction off, mark spelling errors off), but still most of my text in Diarium is red underlined, which is very annoying while reading and typing. I don't know what more I can switch off or where Diarium gets its spelling checking from after all, when it doesn't have a spelling checker function of its own. Anything else I can do about it?

I think there's an other thread about this topic, but I don't know how to combine the two or switch them, so I'll add my remarks here. Elsewhere I read a comment of Timo that it's a OS problem, nothing to do with the Diarium software development. As I have stated above, I have switched off and deleted everything I could find in the Windows settings to get rid of the red underlining in Diarium, but nothing works. (It must be something that is triggered by Diarium, even though it's not part of the software.) This is quite a serious issue for me, because the red underlining makes the diary text almost unreadable. I would hate to have to leave Diarium (which I really like very much and has become part of my daily routine) only because of this issue. I do appreciate that Timo cannot solve this issue inside the software. Is there anything, anything at all that I or anyone could do to solve this issue?

I just tried this again on my PC and after disabling spell check and restarting Diarium, there were no longer any wiggly lines below wrongly typed text.

Timo, thanks for your swift reply. Yes, I had everything about spelling switched off in Windows settings, including the setting "Spelfouten markeren" (highlighting errors). But still always the red underlining was there.

What I have done now, is turn the highlighting on in stead of off, do some typing, turn it off again, then exit and restart Diarium, and wow... finally it seems to work. I'm a bit anxious that the apparent bug would come back, but for now it works fine. No red wiggly lines anymore. It is such a world of difference, I hope it stays this way and I am really relieved. I will like Diarium so much more. Thanks for your help!
