Spell Check

Check spelling of subtitle text and correct misspelled words.

• Menu: Spell check → Spell check…
• Shortcut: Configurable

How to Use

1. Open Spell check → Spell check…
2. Select the dictionary language (auto-detected from subtitle content)
3. The spell checker will highlight the first unknown word
4. Choose an action for each flagged word:
   • Change — Replace with the text in the word field (once)
   • Change all — Replace all occurrences, and remember the correction for future runs
   • Skip once — Ignore this occurrence
   • Skip all — Ignore all occurrences of this word, for the current session only
   • Add to names list (case sensitive) — Add the word to the names/proper nouns list (matches the exact casing)
   • Add to user dictionary — Add the word to your personal dictionary
5. The spell checker advances to the next unknown word automatically
6. When all words have been checked, the window closes

Skip all is not saved. It lasts until the window closes and is not carried over to the next run, so a mis-click never has lasting consequences. To accept a word permanently use Add to user dictionary (or Add to names list for proper nouns); to have a correction applied automatically from now on use Change all.

Suggestions

When a misspelled word is found, the spell checker provides a list of suggested corrections.

• Double-click a suggestion to use it once
• Use once — Replace with the selected suggestion for this occurrence
• Use always — Replace all occurrences with the selected suggestion

Dictionaries

Spell check requires a dictionary to be installed. If no dictionary is found, you will be prompted to download one.

• Get dictionaries — Download additional dictionaries
• The dictionary language is auto-detected from the subtitle content
• You can manually select a different dictionary from the dropdown
• The last used dictionary is remembered between sessions

Additional Features

• Edit whole text — Edit the full subtitle text for the current line
• Google it — Search Google for the current word
• The current subtitle line is highlighted in the subtitle grid as you check
