It is a &GUI; frontend to International ISpell and ASpell. + + + +spell +spelling +kspell +ispell +aspell +check +checker +KDE + + + + +Misspelled Word Dialog + + +(If you do not have Ispell installed +you can obtain it from the International +ISpell home page. ASpell is available from the ASpell home page.) + + + +General Use + + +The top line in the dialog displays a possibly misspelled word which was found in your +document. &kspell; attempts to find an appropriate replacement word. One or +several may be found. The best guess is shown to the right of Replacement:. +To accept this replacement, click on Replace. You may also select a word +from the list of Suggestions and then click Replace to replace the +misspelled word with the selected word. + +To keep your original spelling, click on Ignore. + +To stop the spellchecking -- keeping the changes you've already made -- click +on Stop. + +To stop the spellchecking and cancel the changes you've already made, click on +Cancel. + +Clicking on Replace All will initially perform the same function as +clicking on Replace, but will automatically replace the misspelled word +with the chosen replacement word, if it appears again (at a later point) in your +document. + +The Ignore All button ignores this and all future occurrences of the +misspelled word. + +Clicking on Add will add the misspelled word to your personal dictionary +(this is distinct from the original system dictionary, so the additions you make +will not be seen by other users). + + + + +Configuration Dialog + + + +Dictionaries + +You can choose the dictionary to use for spellchecking from the list of +installed dictionaries. + + + +Encodings + +The most commonly used character encodings are: + + +US-ASCII + +This is the character set used for English text. + + + +ISO-8859-1 + +This is used for Western European languages. + + + +UTF-8 + +This is a Unicode encoding that can be used for almost any language, if +your system has the necessary fonts. + + + + + +You should select the one that matches the character set you are using. +In some cases, dictionaries will support more than one encoding. A +dictionary might, for example, accept accented characters when ISO-8859-1 is +selected, but accept email-style character combinations (like 'a for an +accented a) when US-ASCII is selected. Please see +your dictionary's distribution for more information. + + + +Spell-checking client + +You may choose to use Ispell or Aspell as the spell-checking +backend for &kspell;. Ispell is more widely available and may +have better international support, but Aspell is gaining +popularity as it claims to give better suggestions for word replacements. + + + +Other + +It is recommend that you do not change the first two options unless you have +read the International ISpell man page. + + + + +Contact Information + +For more information about &kspell;, visit the &kspell; +Home Page.
