SUGGESTION: Spell checker for notes and handouts

I make my preaching / teaching notes directly in my Logos 4 note files

I would like to see a generic spell checker that will work with all user created content .... it is a pain exporting out spell checking in word and then trying to find the errors back in the notes file to correct.

If it was a generic spell checker then it could be used within custom sections of handouts as well

Being on Mac I don't know anything about handouts, but I believe if you right click in the note text you will find a spell checker there:

Do you have a dictionary in your library? Use it.

I must say I find that an extremely uncharitable answer! Dictionaries not only take an enormous amount of time compared to a spell checker, they also have some severe limitations: they won't find the typos you didn't see; they won't warn you about the words you didn't know that you didn't know; and they are of no use whatsoever if you are dyslectic.

I see you've chosen to be my bête noir. Well, play on.

I think what fgh says is patently obvious. Dissing spell check in favor of a dictionary is like preferring hard copy books over everything on Logos's inventory. I thought everyone using Logos...not to mention everyone who's been alive since ENIAC...was past such quaint notions by now.

George, would not μαύρο θηρίο, or שחור החיה have been more àpropos, given the venue?

If you prioritize a dictionary then double-click on an English word, it pops up. I never use a spell-checker nor have I ever felt the need to do so. If a word doesn't look right, it probably isn't right.

That must be a feature of the MAC OS. That's cool. I wonder if there is any third party software we can use on the PC side.
