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.

2. Availability

The custom dictionary functionality is available for all customers who are holding a Trial or Paid subscription to Cloud WebSpellChecker Services.

Tip
Good to know: Management of custom dictionaries in the Cloud version is performed from a customer account panel at webspellchecker.net website. It allows an administrator of a subscription to create, edit, enable/disable and delete custom dictionary(ies) via simple user interface. The information about custom dictionaries is encoded in an encrypted customer ID key. If you add a new custom dictionary, or delete an existing one or just change the language or state of a dictionary from Enabled to Disable or vice versa, it changes the information about custom dictionary(ies), and an encrypted customer ID key accordingly. Thus, unlike the Server version there is no need to use separate parameters to specify which custom dictionaries should be used. Custom dictionaries are language-dependent. It is allowed to have multiple custom dictionaries per a language. There is no specific limit set on the total number of custom dictionaries that can be added to a single subscription. However, there is a limit set to a size of a single custom dictionary. It is two million symbols including spaces and commands.
