Hi,
Ubuntu is not a word, it's a name. Names don't exist in any
dictionary, but they always have first letter capitalized.
So if you write it all lowercase, it's not recognized as a name, and
since there isn't such word - you got spelling error.

hth,
Zahari

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.

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
