How to disable spell check on Designer

[tfree]

Hi all,

Is there any way to disable spell check on Designer for iPad? I keep getting ugly red lines under my text with no apparent way to remove them. The only workaround is to convert text to curves but then it is uneditable. My iPad spell check is disabled and my Designer language is default.

Many thanks.

Hi,

If you go into Text Studio on right side tool menu and click on burger menu at the top, you can uncheck the ‘Check spelling while typing’.

The method above disables spell check for that session, but it appears again every time I reopen the document. Is there a way to permanently disable it?

I second that request.. it’s very annoying as right now when you deselect spell check some canvas bugs appear.. so I have to live with the red ugliness. A permanent off option or why not have it disabled from start - does anyone really use it?

Many thanks this is a start at least!

I second, second that! We need an option to disable that annoying spellchecker globally otherwise we have to disable it on every session which makes no sense! I don’t know any designer ever using the spellchecker in a design app. Copy is always written separately and corrected before it gets to the designer so it’s definitely not our job to spellcheck and language proof the text.

I second this request. I need to disable spell check permanently.. it's quite frustrating to have to do it for every session.

Old topic, same request, is it now possible?

very sad.

I am a BIG fan of Serif, I also bought their book to support, but it feels like they are letting it go, without releasing simple but important updates...

Please Serif - The software is beautiful and so smooth running on the iPad, but it really screws with the aesthetic experience of opening your document. Just let us have the ability to save the setting as part of default. I will hand over my first born child if you can make this happen EOM may!

Ditto. This is awful.

I can't find 'Text Studio' on right? I do maps and most place names in foreign countries have a red squiggly line under - looks horrible!

Thanks for that but my Affinity Designer doesn't have that.

This thread is about Designer on iPad. In the desktop app the ‘Check Spelling While Typing’ option is on the Spelling submenu of the Text menu.

Thanks for solution and sorry for being in wrong thread! I thought I'd been through every text menu. Cheers.
