Re: [orca-list] misspelled indicator

(Apologies: I forgot this email list is a replay all instead a reply to send
to the entire list., below is my reply for the whole list.  I apologies for
those that got it already when I just replied.)

I have noticed in windows that if the word is supposed to be capitalized,  
 like Ubuntu verses Ubuntu it comes up as a spelling error.  In typing this
 
 email, I wrote Ubuntu lowercase, and it comes up as a spelling error.

hi
My nvda experience isn't as thorough as other people on this list, but I
have noticed that nvda reports spelling errors in thunderbird when composing
a message. I'm not sure if it does when only reading it, but I suspect not.
My main complaint with it isn't nvda, but rather whatever dictionary of
words windows 7 uses. It reports a ton of things misspellings, some that
probably are my horrible typing but some, like linux, ubuntu, that kind of
thing, when they are not. I've never seen orca report misspellings, even
though it's supposed to have support for them. Anyone know how this works
and under what circumstances? I have the enable misspelling indicator option
checked in the preferences. 
Could this be another gui item that's not hooked up to the underlying code,
like progress bar beeps?
Thanks
Kendell clark

My experience with NVDA is that you only hear misspellings in input 
text areas, I.e. in circumstances where you're likely already editing 
said text. I don't even think Gecko and other apps *report* spelling 
errors in non-input text as that'd be a huge performance hit for 
little gain.

This is how other screen readers I've used work, i.e. you only hear 
if a word is misspelled if you're navigating by word or character. I 
prefer this behaviour when I'm reading something someone else wrote, 
but I agree it would be nice to hear this when proof reading my own 
stuff.

It's on my todo list. Right now I'm completely reworking Orca's text 
support so that Orca intelligently presents cut, copy, paste, 
non-clipboard deletion, undo, text selection in Gecko, etc. It 
should also make it easier to implement a "proofreading" mode.

Agreed with this as well, definitely makes proofreading text more 
difficult.

Hi,
I think this is intended, but I agree with you that somethimes it 
could be helpful to have it read regardless.
After all, a sighted person is not required to point a word with 
the mouse in order to examine its spelling.

Best wishes,
Zahari

Hi, I have a question concerning misspelled indicator. Is it 
currently possible to receive indications of misspelling during 
normal reading of text? Now I can hear "misspelled" while 
reading by characters, but not while doing a continous read or 
reading line by line. Is this expected to happen? Thanks, Vojta
