Features

Spellcheck any Server- or Client-side Control

Telerik ASP.NET Spell is a standalone component which can be attached to any editable control, like textarea, div, iframe, or WYSIWYG editor (RadEditor). All you have to do is place the RadSpell tag on your page and set its ControlToCheck property to the ID of your editable element. By default every instance of the Telerik ASP.NET Spell can check only one control. However, you can configure Telerik Spell component to check multiple controls at once.

Supports Multiple Languages (20 Currently)
The Telerik ASP.NET Spell control is a multilingual spellchecker, which allows users to select one of the installed languages from a drop-down. All dictionaries are located on the server so no time-consuming downloads are required. (Click the + button to see a list of all supported languages)

Natively Supported by RadEditor

The ASP.NET Spell control by Telerik is internally supported by the leading WYSIWYG editor – RadEditor. As a result, the spellchecker can be evoked by the designated button on the editor’s toolbar. Moreover, the end-user may select the spellchecking language from the convenient dropdown. The spellchecking mechanism in RadEditor is realized inline through RadSpell.

Localization

Just like with the RadEditor, the RadSpell’s interface (labels, buttons, tooltips and error messages) can be easily localized, by switching a single property. You can also create a new interface language in a matter of minutes.

Customizing RadSpell Behavior
Telerik ASP.NET Spell control provides an array of features and properties allowing you to customize its behavior.
- To bring the end-user experience closer to the desktop word-processors, RadSpell provides common spellchecking options like: check all caps, check words that start with a capital, check words with numbers, and check for repeated words.
- Support for custom text sources - You can define a custom text source, that can provide text for RadSpell to spellcheck, e.g. extract text from a Macromedia Flash movie, containing a text area component, spellcheck it, and save the corrected text.
- Ignoring inline scripts and style definitions - RadSpell now automatically ignores inline script tags (<script></script>) and style definitions (<style></style>) in the HTML code. Since those tags are not used for storing text, they are not processed in order to avoid false spelling error reports.
- Ignoring text fragments - In RadSpell you can now turn on and off the settings to ignore URL addresses, e-mail addresses and file names in the target text.
- Custom spell check provider - You can specify a custom spell check provider instead of the default one. This way you can create custom spellchecking algorithms and control the given suggestions for the misspelled words.

Rich Client-side API and Events

Telerik Spell component has a rich client-side API and comprehensive set of events (like CheckStarted, CheckFinished, WordCorrected, CustomWordAdded, etc.) guaranteeing full control over various functions performed on the client. The client-side API provides unbeatable performance and desktop-like experience, as some parameters can be changed without posting back to the server.

Extensive VS.NET Design-time Support

The ASP.NET AJAX Spell control by Telerik provides rich design-time support functionality making customizations and configurations very easy. The RadSpell Smart Tag allows easy access to frequently needed tasks. You can display the Smart Tag by right clicking on a RadSpell control in the design window, and choosing Show Smart Tag from its context menu.

XHTML Standards Compliancy

RadSpell is compliant with the XHTML 1.1 requirement.

Phonetic Algorithm

The default RadSpell spell check provider uses a phonetic algorithm in order to offer suggestions that sound similar to the mistaken word. While performing better for English and some other languages it might be a worse option for others. The whole editable content is checked at once, without any Post-Backs. This significantly improves performance and lowers the load on the server.
