I would love if you could make a phonetic spell checker with your program.
As yet i have not found the spell checker i am looking for.
I'm dyslexic and don't remember words very well visually, as for many dyslexics i write phonetically and use a spell checker. my spelling is not so bad now as when i was a child, however i still make many mistakes. Normal spell checkers can't always correct my mistakes. I am from the north of England and speak with the northern pronunciation. a Phonetic spell checking program that could use a dictionary with the phonetics of the individual would be fantastic, and i'm sure other dyslexics would agree,
thanks

    Hi John,

    I'm a little confused about your request. I understand that you would want the program to change a spelling such as "shud" to "should". As I understand it, a pronunciation dictionary would provide the pronunciation for "should" - but how would you match this pronunciation with the word "shud" in order to replace it? Would you log common errors for specific users?

    Thanks,
    Olga
