I love the Complete menu.

What would be great is if when you activate Complete you can continue to type and the Complete menu will auto-update and narrow the search of words as you type.

Right now if you continue to type, the complete menu disappears and you have to activate Complete again.

Cheers and thanks.

Look forward to getting the Canadian English dictionaries.

Application developers COULD implement this. It's out of the realm or control of the spelling checker that provides the completions to the application.

That's all Spell Catcher can do - it gets asked for completions for a particular string, it sends them to the app. What the app does with it (there is a default OS defined behavior) is up to its developers.

Perhaps you could provide to developers code that would make their applications more Spell Catcher friendly? I don't know if an SDK would save you time in the long run or not though. Just a thought that passed my mind for you. I think that your software is well known enough that developers may want to use it. But then I am so out of the developer circle now, that I don't know how much people use SDKs.

Cheers,

Maybe eventually. Certainly right now I don't have time to figure out such a beast...
