Spell Checking for Web Apps.
RapidSpell Web ASP.NET allows developers to add a powerful as-you-type, inline or dialog ASP.NET spell checker to any web application.
Support for all Technologies including MVC, Web Forms and AJAX
A new JavaScript method of implementation enables developers to add spell checking to any ASP.NET based web application no matter the technology they are using. Whether you are building projects for MVC, standard Web Forms (aspx & ascx pages), HTML, ASP or using AJAX in your apps. - the Client Side JavaScript mode of usage provides a simple & intuitive spell checking control without making a large footprint on your application.
The existing Server Control based (ASP.NET server tags) method of usage is still supported for those developers that would prefer not to move over to JavaScript.
Extensive Dictionary Support
Included with RapidSpell Web ASP.NET are 5 English dictionaries, including 140,000 word U.S + U.K. dictionaries (separate and combined), plus Canadian and Australian English. Over 18 non-English dictionaries are also available.
As-You-Type for the Web
Spelling errors are highlighted shortly after a user types an incorrect word. Right Clicking the underlined word provides the user with relevant spelling suggestions and options to Ignore or Add the word to their own custom user dictionary.
Powerful Dialog Checking
The dialog spell checking interface provides an intuitive spell checking experience with options such as Ignore, Ignore All, Change All etc. All text boxes within a Web Form can be spell checked or specifically ignored as required.
The user dictionary (Add button) is enabled by default and can easily be disabled if required. Custom dictionaries can be provided on a Location of Per User basis as business requirements demands.
Validator Support
One of the most important aspects when checking valid information has been entered by users is spelling. Developers, and businesses alike, need to ensure all the information they retain through their web applications is as valid and relevant as possible. RapidSpell Web .NET can be easily integrated to your validation controls and the behaviour customized to fit in with your business needs.
Choice of Suggestions Algorithm
A choice of two suggestion algorithms can be used to find suggestions of spelling errors; ‘hashing’ and ‘phonetic’. Hashing works best with typographic errors and common spelling mistakes. The phonetic algo is a ‘sounds-like’ method of finding spelling suggestions.
