MapSpeller™ Personal Dictionaries

Version 4.0

Personal dictionaries complement other types of dictionaries.

Personal dictionaries are designed to let individual users save words that they deemed correctly spelled worldwide so that they would not constantly be flagged as potential errors. Geographically-bound words should be saved in personal Locationaries™ (spatial dictionaries) instead.

Personal dictionaries are called personal or user dictionaries because they are specific to each user and don't impact others. They will roam.

Each culture supported by MapSpeller has a separated personal dictionary; Only one primary culture can be set at time. The personal dictionary is automatically set to that of the primary culture. Of course, it can be turned off.
