1. Overview
Global custom dictionary is a special mechanism that allows creating company-wide dictionaries that are intended to extend the vocabulary of the standard dictionary with custom words specific to your industry, domain, etc. All the words added to a custom dictionary will be available for all users of a web application within a company.
Custom dictionaries for Cloud customers are saved and stored on the WebSpellChecker Cloud servers. Such dictionaries can be created and modified only by a person who is authorized to access the account panel on the webspellchecker.com website.

To get started with the custom dictionary functionality:
| Excerpt Include | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
- Locate the Dictionaries section on the main page of your account and add a new dictionary. As soon as new dictionary is added, it will be displayed on the list of your custom dictionaries.
4. Create custom dictionary
4.1. Navigate to the Dictionaries tab.
4.2. Under your subscription section, click Add New Dictionary button to create a new dictionary.
4.3. Fill in all the necessary fields to create a new custom dictionary and click Create.
- Type a dictionary name (the dictionary name should be unique and use only Latin characters or/and digits);
- Add or copy/paste the words separated by space or comma that you want to appear in the dictionary.
| Note |
|---|
Each unit in a dictionary is a separate word which can contain language-specific letters and digits. Don't use any specific symbols (e.g. math symbols) in the dictionary as it will fail to compile and won't work eventually. |
- Select a language to apply a new custom dictionary for. The words from this custom dictionary will be used to extend the default wordlist of a chosen language dictionary.

4.4. Verify if the custom dictionary functionality works correctly:
- Before trying to test a new custom dictionary, it is strongly recommended to clean your browser cache.
- Go to your web page and enter a sentence or a list of words that have been added to a new custom dictionary. The words that are present in your custom dictionary should be considered as correct. Moreover, if you try to misspell any of these words, you should get the correct word as a suggestion for correction in the list of suggestions.

5.2. Modify the required fields (e.g. add new words) and click Save.
