Disable and control spelling checker on iPad


Recommended Posts

The iPad. version of AD does not seem to have a menu for language and spelling. However, the text still displays spelling correction underlining which is quite annoying. See the enclosed image where every single word is spelled correctly, and yet they get curly lines.

Is it possible to turn off the curly lines?

When will control of language and spelling come into the iPad version?

Please note that the iPad language is set to Danish.

Regards,

       Hans

This is showing how in Affinity Photo but it is exactly the same for Affinity Design. :)

Thanks (and sorry for the late reply). 

One remaining problem is that the check/uncheck status of "Check spelling while typing" is no remembered when re-opening the document.

Another problem is that it does not follow the keyboard setting, so it seems I cannot get Danish or German spell checking, e.g. Only English.

as with the new update is there any news about the check spelling function being able to stay at last setting when reopening the document? this is so annoying having to uncheck it each time when the document is reopenend and I wonder if I missed news about this? thanks in advance....

Still a known issue. For now, we must deal with these small imperfections. Cheers :)

Off permanently….. Where did you read that? Pretty sure this is still not possible within affinity apps.

not in this forum, as far as I remember in an apple forum...so there is no option to turn it off in general settings?

I'm also getting very annoyed by this. I think it stems from my iPad having double language but Affinity Apps only support the system language. The secondary language fails to spelcheck correctly and Affinity ignores that it exists altogether. At the same time, while typing, spellchecking doesn't work for this secondary language. Something seems to be bugged.

This is option now exists in affinity designer ipad version 2. spell check can be switched off under the preview icon top right in the menu bar. it is one of the options along with rulers, margins, guides, etc. no more red squiggly lines under text...

Which makes the wrong spell checking much less annoying.

Now we only miss the ability to do spell checking in the language we write. Sometimes it is English, aber ab und zu ist es Deutch, eller som for det meste, dansk.

You can specify, for any piece of text (word, phrase, paragraph, ...) the spelling language you want, as long as it is one supported by iPadOS on your iPad.

Text studio, Character section, Language, Spelling:

And you can also specify it in Character or Paragraph Text Styles.

Thanks, that is really helpful.

It seems that this property does not count as part of the current style? In contrast with the character styles it is grouped with. 

Luckily, it seems to work when selecting all 1500 text boxes and apply Danish at one. Not via ctl-a which only works on the current spread (good), but via drag-select which can select across spreads.

Spelling->Learn (from the upper left sandwich button) does not seem to work. When I press "Spelling", "Find", and then "Learn", and exit the box, it is still wiggly·

Do you mean object style, or text style?

It is certainly part of a Character Text Style that you define.

Some aspects of text are encompassed in object styles, but I've never checked whether the language carries over. But generally I don't apply object styles to text (only to entire text frames, or entire artistic text objects.

It confused me, because when I changed the language, it didn't seem to take effect in neighbour boxes with the same text style. In this picture, they should both have had the red squiggle as they have the same, updated text style (updated while the left one had focus):

IMG_6824.jpeg.c82425433f3291b93df6266dc6b088fb.jpeg

However, when closing and opening the document, it takes effect.
This in contrast to e.g. changing to a bold font, which takes effect in all boxes in the moment the text style is updated.

So I concluded a bit too early, based on this difference in effectuation time. Thank you for your help.

Sounds like a bug, really. It should take effect immediately everywhere. 

You should probably report that in a new thread, we are an archive here. 🙂 

I agree.
