Custom Dictionary Suggestions

[Indira]

Hi,

I have two questions. Help is greatly appreciated.

1. Is it possible to have hyphenated text in the custom dictionary and to read those to suggestions list? We are using custom dictionary with data fields to suggest and the user wants to see them as one data field rather than parts of the field.  Ex: they want to see the suggestion "PRESENT-REPORTING-UNIT-CODE" for a mispelled "PRESENT-REPORTING-UNT-CDE".  Currently it suggests individual words.
2. How to force the spell checker to show custom dictionary suggestions to be displayed on top in the suggestion box? Would need to have the custom suggestions at the top in the suggestions box, for example, if "Doctor" is misspelled and if the custom dictionary has suggestions like "DOCTR" , "DCTR". Custom suggestions needs to be on top.

Thanks,
Indira.

Hi Indira,

Straight to the points:
1) The requested feature is not supported out-of-the box by RadSpell. The hyphen - symbol is used as a word separator in the RadSpell's code and even if you put a hyphenated word as "PRESENT-REPORTING-UNIT-CODE" in the dictionary the spellchecker will suggest individial words.

2) The suggested words are not listed in a specific order. Their order depends on the used spellchecking provider and it could not be customized.

Thanks Rumen.

For the 1st one, could you send me examples on how to customize the Radspell to show hyphenated words?

Thanks,
Indira.

Hi Indira,

I am afraid that this scenario is not supported by RadSpell and it is not possible to implement this custom functionality in the current version of the spellchecker.

I logged your feature request for future consideration, but I am not sure whether it will be implemented because we should change the current spellchecking algorithm, which is not an easy task. If anyone else request this functionality we will increase its priority.

I updated your Telerik points for your feature request.

Hi Sonia,

en-US-Custom.txt is the name of the custom dictionary which stores the words added by the users, when the spellchecker uses its default configuration.

I noticed that you set CustomDictionarySuffix="Custom" which will create a custom dictionary with name en-USCustom.txt (without - slash between US and Custom). You can see how the CustomDictionarySuffix property works in the following live demo: Different Custom Dictionaries.

If you still experience any problems, open a support ticket and send a sample working project that demonstrates them.

All the best,
