Turn off spellchecker?

[Johnnymycat]

Hello,

 

How can i turn off the spellchecker for Affinity Designer, which underlines "false words" (and everything else)  in red?

 

Thanks, have a nice day!

It's in the TEXT menu, there's a submenu called "Spelling". Turn off "Check spelling while typing" — made me slightly mad as well.

With the right-click menu you can also ignore specific words for the document, or add them to the dictionary so they are considered correct for all documents. We use the standard OS X spell-checker so the dictionaries and behaviour should be common across all apps.

Thank You both very much!

Jens Krebs, where is that Text menu? I can’t find it anywhere.

File, edit and then text

Is there a way to turn this off by default? It's unnecessarily cumbersome to have to do this every time the program opens.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

The setting is remembered from session to session on Windows. It should be remembered on MacOS, too.

(Note: If you're an iPad user, you asked in the wrong forum, as this forum is for desktop questions. I  think, for iPad, you must do it for each document separately.)
