RapidSpell Web .NET v3.4 Available
Keyoti released v3.4 of its ASP.NETspell checker control for Web applications. Add multilingual spell-checkfunctionality into ASP.NET Web applications with only a few lines of code.RapidSpell Web provides ASP.NET developers and designers with a cross-browser(and multi-client platform) server control that requires no clientinstallation, no special security settings, and programmatic flexibility.Written for .NET in C#, RapidSpell Web includes two interfaces, an inlinehighlighter and a no post-back dialog interface. RapidSpell includes five Englishdictionaries, including 140,000 word US+ UKdictionaries (separate and combined), plus Canadian and Australian English.Non-English dictionaries are also available.
All the includedspell-checker controls can be enabled as Validators, which perform validationof spelling in text boxes before allowing data to be saved. For example, whenthe form is posted back, the RapidSpellWebLauncher or RapidSpellWInline controlwill check for errors. If there are errors, the user is prompted (in thevalidation summary) to run a spell check. They don t have to correct allerrors, but they must at least run the spell checker. The spell checker also canbe started automatically.
RapidSpell Web hasa decoupled checker engine, which allows (via an interface definition) the useof any core spell-checker class or other type of text parser to be used withthe interface. This allows complete customization of the engine (including fortasks other than spell checking, such as offensive word checking) and theinterface.
