TSynSpellCheck

Welcome to the TSynSpellCheck page! This component is a spell checking component for the TSynEdit component. It is free with full source code. It works with any 32 bit version of Delphi (2.0+). Currently Kylix is not yet supported and given that further development of Kylix has been discontinued there may not be a need to port TSynSpellCheck.

Ideas

Here are some ideas I would like to implement/or am already working on. I appreciate when people send me code/functions or even ideas of what they think might be useful. You have no idea how much feedback is helpful. Even if they are sometimes harsh words

I would also like to thank everybody that has helped me develop this component. Every time I published a new version I got a whole bunch of feedback in return. I appreciate this very much, thanks to all of you I have been able to add new features/remove bugs and so on. Even a simple “I like it” makes me want to sit down and implement something new. At least I know I am not doing this for myself only. Thank you.

Microsoft® Word® style letter case checking. If a word has more two capital letters next to each other but is not all uppercase it is reported wrong.
Example: JAcob – wrong; Jacob – right.
Supporting Microsoft® Word® dictionaries (via COM interface). This should not be hard. All that has to be done is connect to Word, query it and use the values. The article on delphi.about.com may help (Spell Checking with MS Word)
More dictionaries.
