    We've just started using RADSpell. Overall we're very pleased with it, but have noticed a couple of idiosyncracies:

    1) Non alphabetic characters, including spaces, inserted into a word cause problems to the spell checker. For example, when checking "m,uch" the spell checker will allow the "m," and suggest an alternative spelling for "uch". There is no possibility of highlighting the whole word and overtyping it. In this case you will need to "Ignore" the word, make a mental note and overtype the word after the spell check is complete.

    2) The spell checker flags repeated words, but indicates that there is a spelling mistake. For example, with "he had had an intra-abdominal haemorrhage" the spell checker will flag the second "had" and suggest the alternative spelling "had", which is clearly confusing.

    Hi David,

    The current editor's SpellCheck implementation recognizes the "," as a punctuation character and the observed behavior is common for the web based spellcheckers - we have tested the issue with other competitive spellcheckers an the result was the same.

    In difference with the web based spellcheckers, the spellchecking mechanism of MS Word uses advanced heuristics to spellcheck such misspelled words including punctuation symbols, and we have not implemented that functionality yet (hopefully we will in one of the next versions).


    In regards to the repeated words: unfortunately our current repeat words implementation is not perfect. Therefore you can disable the repeat words option by using the WordIgnoreOptions="RepeatedWords";

    Nevertheless, we do appreciate your feedback and we updated your Telerik points.

    Kind regards,

    Dear George,

    I have noticed that if RadSpell is checking 2 controls using the ControlsToCheck property and one has a word at the end and the other has the same word at the start, for example:

    TextBox1.Text = "This is a test"
    TextBox2.Text = "tests are good"

    When the spell checker is invoked, it reports a repeated word error even though the words are in separate controls.

    Any idea how we can get around this without disabling repeated word checking by ignoring repeated words?

    Thanks,

    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    When obtained the content of all checked controls is unified  and spell-checked by RadSpell. That is why it is not possible to distinguish or separate the text of the different controls. You can see how the spellchecker works in this article: Spellchecking Multiple Text Areas.
