Telerik RadSpell for ASP.NET AJAX Key features

Spellcheck any server- or client-side control

RadSpell is a standalone component which can be attached to any editable control, like textarea, div, iframe, or WYSIWYG editor (RadEditor). All you have to do is place the RadSpell tag on your page and set its ControlToCheck property to the ID of your editable element.

Support for Microsoft Word dictionaries

RadSpell has been enhanced significantly and now can support the dictionaries of Microsoft® Word XP and 2003 (Word must be installed on the server). This gives end-users even greater convenience due to the richer set of dictionaries.

Custom dictionary for every language

When the "Add to custom dictionary" option is enabled, the end-user can place unknown words to a custom dictionary, which will be automatically created for the respective language. The custom dictionaries are in ".txt" format and can be easily edited when needed.

Easy interface localization

Just like with the RadEditor, the RadSpell's interface (labels, buttons, tooltips and error messages) can be easily localized, by switching a single property. You can also create a new interface language in a matter of minutes.

High performance no-postback algorithm

The advanced Levenstein algorithm used by RadSpell is implemented so that the whole editable content is checked at once, without any Post-Backs. This significantly improves performance and lowers the load on the server.

Natively supported by RadEditor

RadSpell is internally supported by the leading WYSIWYG editor - RadEditor. As a result, the spellchecker can be evoked by the designated button on the editor's toolbar. Moreover, the end-user may select the spellchecking language from the convenient dropdown.

Supports multiple languages (20 currently)

RadSpell is a multilingual spellchecker, which allows users to select one of the installed languages from a drop-down. All dictionaries are located on the server so no time-consuming downloads are required.

Ignoring inline scripts and style definitions

RadSpell now automatically ignores inline script tags (<script></script>) and style definitions (<style></style>) in the HTML code. Since those tags are not used for storing text, they are not processed in order to avoid false spelling error reports.

XHTML 1.1 and Accessibility Compliance

RadSpell now provides complete XHTML compliance. The HTML markup of the component is fully XHTML 1.1 compliant.

RadSpell is now "Level AA" (in conformance with the W3C Web Accessibility Guidelines 1.0) as well as "Section 508" compliant.

Options: check all caps, check words with numbers, etc.

To bring the end-user experience closer to the desktop word-processors, RadSpell provides common spellchecking options like: check all caps, check words that start with a capital, check words with numbers, and check for repeated words.

Dictionary configuration tool

RadSpell now includes a powerful Dictionary Configuration Tool which facilitates creation and editing custom dictionaries.

Server-side functionality

Ignoring text fragments

In RadSpell you can now turn on and off the settings to ignore URL addresses, e-mail addresses and file names in the target text.

Phonetic algorithm

The default RadSpell spellcheck provider now uses a phonetic algorithm in order to offer better suggestions that sound similar to the mistaken word. This algorithm is optimized and particularly efficient for English phonetic suggestions.

Support for subject-specific dictionaries (i.e. medical)

Besides the provided default language dictionaries, you can easily create a new or specialized one (i.e. medical, technical) following the "one word per line" rule. Client-side functionality

Rich set of client-side events

RadSpell introduces a comprehensive client-side API with a set of events like CheckStarted, CheckFinished, WordCorrected, CustomWordAdded, etc.

Client-side configuration

RadSpell can now start spellchecking with client-side code. Some parameters can be changed without posting back to the server.

Support for custom text sources

Now, you can define a custom text source, that can provide text for RadSpell to spellcheck, e.g. extract text from a Macromedia Flash movie, containing a text area component, spellcheck it, and save the corrected text.

Checking multiple controls

You can now launch more than one RadSpell instances on a single event. This feature is useful for checking a number of controls on one form.

One software license is required per developer. The software is licensed per developer and allows 1 developer to use the Telerik components or controls for an unlimited number of web-sites or custom web-applications. Where the Telerik components or controls are to be sold within in an off-the-shelf developer product then an OEM License is required. please contact ComponentSource for a quotation. If you have a product and plan to sell it to end-users only and your customers will not be modifying the controls (using the API or writing code against the tools), then you will not need an OEM Redistributable License.
