This document contains various tips and hints for using SSCE effectively.

  • If you want to check text in two or more languages, don't open dictionaries for both languages at the same time. Having dictionaries for two languages open at once increases the probability that a misspelled word in one language will match a valid word in the other language, and therefore will not be detected. Also, having two main dictionaries open at once will increase the time required to check spelling and look up suggestions. Instead, construct two (or more) SpellingSession objects, and open the dictionary for one language in each session. At run time, use the appropriate SpellingSession object to check text based on the text's language. Alternatively, close the dictionary files for the first language then open the dictionary files for the second. Note that this does not apply to Wintertree's medical or legal dictionaries: the medical or legal dictionaries are supplements to the English dictionary and can be opened at the same time as the English dictionary.

  • Don't open ssceam.tlx, ssceca.tlx, or sscebr.tlx as a user dictionary. Although these files are text lexicons and technically can be used as user dictionaries, they are not intended to be used this way. These files should be opened as part of the main American or UK English dictionary. This applies to the sscexx.utlx and sscexx.tlx files included with dictionaries for other languages as well.
