Spell check not working for UK English. It's not recogniZing the incorrect z's.

Yes, I think the issue is that they are using the OS spellcheck. They think "ize" is not INcorrect. Which means that this may require a change in the speech to text.

There is a search and replace. In the Transcript tab (source monitor or sequence view), add "ize" in the search box. Then click "Replace" and add "ise". You can "Replace all", or use "Replace" and step through one at a time.

@AnnikaKoenig Shouldn't the transcription for UK English be using "ise" for these?

Just tested in Illustrator to see how it fairs. Looks like they have their own set of problems in British English, incredible.

@Stan JonesThanks. But recognising ize as correct is still incorrect in British English. Recognise is always with S and never Z. Sadly its not just recognise, but anything that ends in -ise. So the workaround is really just manually checking for things that aren't unerlined as incorrect by reading the entire text. There are no search, find & replace features, so actually the best thing would be to leave adobe, use another program to spell check.

@nickgripton,

Sorry; I obviously messed up my post. I should have been using the word "recognize."

I found a link to the staff post regarding spell check relying on the system settings.

I just tested by creating a Word document and typing Recognise, Recognize, Chesecake, and Color.

With my regular US English setting, it flags Recognise and Chesecake as incorrect. When I switch the proofing language to UK English, it flags Color and Chesecake, but neither  Recognise - s or z.

The problem is the spell checker allows either spealling for UK English, and the only setting option is to teach it a word it doesn't know. But it knows "recognize," and will not correct it for another word it already knows - "recognise."

The workaround here would be to search for recognize and replace with recognise. Not elegant, and that's only one exception.

?

There are issues in US English also. Just FYI...

I do wonder if this would be fixed already if it were the US english that it wasn't recognising....

@Stan Jones To be clear my windows is installed UK english only.

@AnnikaKoenig,

I tested as follows:

I added English UK to my Win 10 US English install. It shows spellcheck as added. In the transcript, I changed "cheesecake" to "cheesecake," and added "color" and "recognise." I changed the transcript tab 3 dots spell check to English UK.

The incorrect chesecake and color are underlined in red, but reconise is not.

The transcript spellcheck is using the system spellcheck?

@Kevin-Monahan Any update on this? Ran into this issue today manually correcting 12 different transcripts for things like this.
