Customizing spell check/auto correct/predictive input dictionaries

Question

I'm a developer who wants to leverage the built in Spell Check/Auto Correct/Predictive Input features built in to (specifically) the RichEditBox text editor. In my app, I'm planning on allowing the user to create things that they might want to include in their Spell Check etc dictionaries without having to modify the regular user one.

I couldn't find a solution to this via a regular search engine search (no names mentioned), and I was wondering if this was a possibility or maybe a planned future functionality?

Hi,

You can use the underlying Spell Checking API

The Spell Checking API permits developers to consume spell checker capability to check text, get suggestions, and maintain settings and user dictionaries.

See these sample to get more information:
