Question

UK English spellings

I've been using the new transcribe tool now for a while and I love it. However, there are some words (in UK English) that always default to the least likely word needed or don't pick up correct grammar to help with spelling. A couple of examples are:

cheque = an order to a bank to pay a stated sum from the drawer's account, written on a specially printed form 

check = every other meaning of the word and therefore the most commonly used

 

practice = noun

practise = verb

 

Is it possible for the transcribe tool to offer the most common version and/or apply grammar to decide which to offer?

I've also seen this behaviour (behavior!) with other UK English words. Does the transcription use the OS language or is it only US English at the moment?

You can choose English or English (UK). In general, it isn't bad but there are sometimes spelling mistakes and more often just the wrong word used.
