FAQPage Schema
How do I configure spell checking and autocorrect in UITextView and NSTextView?▼

To configure spell checking and autocorrect in UITextView and NSTextView, adjust text input traits and apply UITextChecker or NSSpellChecker APIs. This enables built-in spelling validation and automated text replacement for Apple text editors.

How do I implement spell checking and text completion in a custom UITextInput view?▼

Implement spell checking and text completion in custom UITextInput views by integrating UITextChecker APIs. This allows custom text editors to access system spelling suggestions and predictive text completion while avoiding private API pitfalls.

What is the UITextInteraction trap in custom UITextInput views and how do I avoid it?▼

The UITextInteraction trap is a safety hazard in custom UITextInput implementations causing unexpected behavior during spell checking. Avoid it by following specific configuration best practices for text interaction modes and UITextChecker integration.

What are the cross-platform differences between iOS and macOS spell-check frameworks?▼

Cross-platform differences between iOS and macOS spell-check frameworks center on UITextChecker and NSSpellChecker API usage. Understanding these distinctions ensures consistent spell checking and autocorrect behavior across Apple platforms.

How do I disable spell checking for code editors in Apple text views?▼

Disable spell checking for code editors in UITextView or custom UITextInput views by modifying text input traits. This prevents the system from autocorrecting code syntax and stops unwanted spelling validation during programming.
