Configuring Cloud User Dictionary

2. User Dictionary User Interface

2.1. User Dictionary Interface in SCAYT Product

The personal user dictionary can be managed via simple user interface of the Settings dialog on the Dictionary tab. It allows users to create personal dictionaries with custom words (complex words, acronyms, proper names etc.) and use them while working with the system. All the words added to a personal dictionary will not be considered as misspellings and these words will also be available in the suggestions list. The user has the ability to look through the full list of the words that have been added to this dictionary and also manage the words from a simple user interface. The words can be added either from the context menu Add word or directly on the Dictionary tab.

Dictionary preferences

By default, all the words added to the personal dictionary are stored in the browser local storage on the user side. As soon as the user creates a new dictionary, all new words and the words from the browser local storage will be added to this dictionary and stored on the system server. It allows the user to use this personal dictionary from the different browsers and machines (or devices) while working with the system. Thus, users are not limited by one particular browser on their side as in case with the words stored in the browser local storage.

To do so, specify a required User Dictionary parameter and set your predefined dictionary as a value.
