SLowmo75 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Can anyone tell me how to turn spell check off on AD on iPad, please? I am making a logo where the word is a non word, so it has annoying red spell check wiggles under it that are putting me right off! Thanks Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wayne Would it be easier to add the "non-word" to the dictionary? That way you'd still be checking the rest of the text and you'd ensure the non-word was spelled consistently.

Better still, on AD desktop there is an option to ignore spelling, which will just ignore the spelling of that word for that specific document If that option is also on the iPad try that PS You can unignore that word in that document at a later date if you want to Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I've split and moved the related iPad questions to a new thread in the relevant section of the forums. We use the dictionary and spell checker that is being used by your iOS as Affinity for iPad doesn't have it's own dictionary currently. Unfortunately this means currently there's no way to edit the dictionary and add/remove words from within Affinity. I believe you can add words to the dictionary from some Apple apps, but I've yet to find a way to remove these words through the iPads settings, other than resetting the keyboard dictionary in its entirety.

SLowmo75 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thanks all. I'm editing on desktop now anyway, but will try AlianP's suggestion when I'm back on the pad - that's if he was even talking about the iPad version?!

Kobretti Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I was having the same problem on my iPad. I tried AlainP's suggestion and it did the trick! Just to be clear he means the "Text Studio" panel on the right-side menu.

JessBundy Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Using ‘Uncheck spelling while typing’ does not save this setting when the document is closed, which means AD is basically giving me the bird every time I open up my document by showing me the squiggly red lines yet again that I don’t want to see. In my opinion this should never have passed Quality Assurance by the fact that it’s a bad UX experience for the user. Really really really really annoying.

awakenedbyowls Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Is there a way to just turn this spell checker off altogether ? I'm not using AD2 to write articles for Substack ! It's bad enough that the only way to stop it adding red lines to words is to right click on each word individually but this software seems to completely ignore spelling errors (which aren't even spelling errors ) and then randomly putting red lines under the words out of nowhere - even on text that's been there for weeks and no red lines - all of a sudden it just plonks a red line under the text 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Henderson Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I’m sorry but the inability to just turn it off globally feels like a huge oversight. It’s a design program—we shouldn’t have to find “workarounds” just to make our text appear without redline markup. Three almost-daily ways I encounter this problem: 1– designing for multilingual environments 2– designing for specialized fields with their own jargon 3– wireframing websites and using a lorem ipsum placeholder I continually leave spell check off on all the design software I use, for the above reasons. But I can’t turn it off on the current Affinity Designer for iPad (there’s no “burger menu” on the Text panel)—the closest I’ve found is clicking “learn” or “ignore” for EVERY word, which is an absurd bother when it’s a large passage of text. I’m stunned this option is nowhere in the application’s global Preferences. Please add it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can disable it, but I still get paranoid that AP might accidentally auto-correct a word. There should be a check somewhere in the setting that completely shut it off for peace of mind. Now I have to make sure that Check spelling is unchecked, and "Replace text while typing" is unchecked in the Settings etc… When you’re working on thousand of pages of text with archaic words, you’ll understand the paranoia. The preflight scares me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
