How Autocomplete Handles Spelling Errors

  • No Exact Match Needed:

    • dotScribe's autocomplete does not require an exact match to find your term. It is designed to recognize and suggest terms even with minor spelling errors.

  • Limitations:

    • If your spelling is too dissimilar to the correct term, dotScribe may struggle to find the exact match.

    • Use your arrow keys to scroll down and browse more results. This can help you find the correct term even if the spelling is off.

  2. Reset the Search:

    • Press the Escape key or the Space Bar to reset the search and try again with a different spelling.

  3. Toggle Suggestions:

    • Turn suggestions off and then back on through the dotScribe taskbar menu.
    • The shortcut for this action is CTRL + period key.
