Hey @nickgripton !

Thanks for checking in. Premiere Pro is bascially using the OS spellcheck. 

 

As you found, Microsoft is not flagging a lot of words that are not the common spelling in Britain like "realize" because it is not technically incorrect to spell it that way, even in Britain.

Lots of users are frustrated by Microsoft's choice here. The workaround Microsoft is suggesting is to create an exclude list and Premiere Pro will respect that list. 

 

Instructions:

  • Navigate to this folder (you may need to unhide hidden folders first): C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Spelling
  • Open the appropriate folder. For your case, "en-GB"

  • Open this file in a text editor: default.exc

  • Add all your words you want to be flagged as misspelled. One word per line, as such:
  • Reopen Premiere and see if you now get these words flagged as misspelled. That's it!

 

Thanks to Ai this shouldn't be too tedious. I have created a list for you that you could use as a starting point:

@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?

Stan

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

Brits. Sheesh, don't even know how to spell our shared language!  😉

 

And we're not even talking Scots, here, the wife's family ... oh ... my ... watching a "football" game from Edinburgh is nearly incomprensible over here across the pond ... 

 

Isn't language fun?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Hi @nickgripton! Thanks for reporting this. I will try to reproduce this on my end.
