    What's the best dictionary app?


    I need an app for my tablet, anyone have a good one, that doesn't take over the whole tablet ?

    Sorry I can't help LPt1, don't have a tablet. What type do you have, what OS is it running I expect that will say what you can get, is it Android or something else ?

    Joan hi, This is running Android 4.0.4, It's a Toshiba Thrive tablet.
    This keeps trying to add/use the wrong words when I type, makes it a bit difficult. Do you have a word speller on your phone if so , might that work on the tablet as well ?
    Thanks for your reply.

    Just had a look and I don't seem to have an app for spelling on mine but as the phone is set up for working in the UK it seems to work.

    I have the HTC Wildfire S and it runs on the Vodafone network for the UK.

    Have you looked to make sure the input language is set properly for your country ?

    Glad you're sorted and I could help, even though I didn't actually do anything.

    LPT

    you can add your own words to the user dictionary, so that they will be available in the suggestions when you type them later.

    Method 1:- When typing in an input box, you will see the word along with a couple suggestions above the onscreen keyboard
    - Tap the word once and you will see an option to Touch again to save
    - Tap the word you typed again to save


    Method 2:
    - Go into settings
    - Select Language & keyboard
    - Select Personal dictionary
    - Select the + button
    - Type the word you wish to add and then hit OK

    Hope that helps
