Welcome! You've most likely reached this page because you are interested in downloading additional dictionaries for use with your application. Your application uses our Addict spelling engine product to provide spelling check support.
On this page you'll find a number of additional supported language dictionaries, as well as specialized texts and auto-correct dictionaries meant to supplement the language dictionaries.
To install these dictionaries, download and open the ZIP file and copy the contained files to the location your application stores its dictionaries. For most applications this will be the same directory that the application itself is stored in. Use your application's spelling configuration to load the new dictionary.
More information is available here if you have questions or would like to learn a bit more about dictionaries and how they work with our spelling checker.
We also provide a Dictionary Wizard product that enables easy dictionary creation and the ability to edit existing dictionaries to your liking. Create a supplemental dictionary for your business or job specialty, merge multiple dictionaries together to make a specialized dictionary for your project, and much more.
Unless specified Dictionaries listed here will work with Addict 3 and Addict 4 based Applications.
