OSEE Spell Checking

Purpose

Enable data entered in OSEE to be spell checked.

How to do it

As data is entered into OSEE spell-checked fields, a blue line will be displayed if the word is not recognized. Only lowercase words or words with only the first character capitalized will be spell checked. Acronyms, words with special characters, numbers, and single letter words will be ignored.

Main Dictionary

OSEE has a main dictionary included in its release. See below for its source, copyright information, and credits.

Additional Released Dictionaries

Additionally dictionaries can be added to OSEE via extension points. These can only be modified by hand and thus included in normal release cycle.

Run-time Global Dictionary

Each OSEE user is able to add words to a Global dictionary stored in the database by right-clicking on the word underlined in blue and selecting to save global. These words are stored in the "Global Preferences" artifact and will then be shown as a valid word in all users' spell checking.

Run-time Personal Dictionary

Each OSEE user is able to add words to their Personal dictionary stored in the database by right-clicking on the word underlined in blue and selecting to save personal. These words are stored in the user's "User" artifact and will then be shown as a valid word only for that user.
