Spell Checker

Unlike the Help engine, the spell-checker engine is integrated into the embedded operating system (OS) as a module. In addition, the spell checker does not have a user interface (UI). Instead, your application passes text strings directly to the spell checker. The spell checker searches the supplied dictionaries and returns suggestions for correct spelling. You must decide how to display this data to users.

To integrate the spell-checker engine into an application

1. Initialize the spell-checker engine by calling the SplInit function.

   Use the call to the SplInit function to add any user-defined spelling dictionaries and initialize user settings.

2. Use the SplCheck, SplSuggest, SplOptionSet, SplReplace, and SplLimitSet functions to check spelling, suggest alternate words, and replace misspellings.
3. When you are finished, close the spell-checker engine by calling the SplQuit function.
