Spell Check "Suggestions" for Text Data Entry Fields
Hi all. We're using Data Entry (Text Entry) fields to build Learning Journals into our Storyline projects. Is it possible to add pop-up spell-check suggestions for misspelled words into the field? Thanks.
Hi Jack and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are working on.
- Are you asking about an actual spell-checker? If so, this is a setting in the browser.
- Or are you wanting to create the 'look' of a spell-checker for your interaction? If so, I'm sure someone in the community can share some design suggestions with you here.
I am also encountering this issue. We are using Text Entry fields for open-ended questions in a course. Currently when a user spells a word wrong the word in the field is underlined in red but doesn't give a suggestion on how to spell it. Is there a setting I'm missing? This is for a published version hosted on Rise360, not when editing.
Hi Erin, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
Once the course is published, this is dependent on the environment where the content is hosted, which is typically the browser.
I tested a text entry field with my course published to LMS in a Chrome browser, and my Grammarly plug-in offered my spelling change suggestions.
