Spell check

The Bat! implements two different spell checking engines: Sentry Spelling-Checker Engine (SSCE) and Common Speller API (CSAPI). The Bat! only checks text you entered along with your template text; quoted text is not checked.

Sentry Spelling-Checker Engine (SSCE)

SSCE is part of The Bat!'s installation and comes with dictionaries for American and British English. Further dictionaries are available together with the International Language Pack from RITLab's Web site.

Common Speller API (CSAPI)

CSAPI is provided by many vendors and used by the Microsoft Office family of products. If you have Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint or another application from Microsoft's Office suite installed, The Bat! automatically detects any CSAPI dictionary and uses it.

Dictionaries

In this dialogue you define user dictionaries, add or delete words from them and define actions for them.

Any word The Bat! shows as wrong can be corrected by you, ignored or added to the user dictionary.

For Automatic checking:

For Check entire text a dialogue opens to allow correction of any spelling mistakes found and, at the end (or if there are none) a small summary window stating how many words were checked and how many corrected.
