1. Overview
The custom dictionary is a special mechanism that allows creating company-wide dictionaries that are intended to extend the vocabulary of the standard dictionary with custom words specific to your industry, domain, etc. All the words added to a custom dictionary will be available for all users of a web application within a company.
The custom dictionaries for Cloud customers are saved and stored on the WebSpellChecker Cloud servers. Such dictionaries can be created and modified only by a person who is authorized to access to the account panel on the webspellchecker.net website.
