Add a dictionary to Author-it Cloud

While some dictionaries are provided with Author-it Cloud, you may be working in a language that isn't provided or have a word list more relevant to what you are writing.

In this case, you can create your own dictionary for any single byte language, provided you have a small word list, a word list, and a character map.

1. Download SpellTime for .Net.

2. Open Command Prompt.

3. Use the CD command to change to a directory containing a small word list, word list, and character map.

   For example: CD C:\Users\AOrtha\Documents\Dictionaries\ACME

4. Run the SpellTime merge utility on your word list.

   For example: "[drive:][path]\SpellTime\merge35" wordlist.txt

   The merge utility creates a series of dictionary files, D35_A to D35_Z, based on your word list.

5. Run the SpellTime comp utility.

   For example: "[drive:][path]\SpellTime\comp35"

   The comp utility creates four files called dict35.

6. In Author-it Cloud, go to Files > Common > CompanyShare > Dictionaries.

7. Add a new folder.

8. Rename the folder to the name of the dictionary you're adding.

9. Add the dict35 files you created earlier to the folder:

   • dict35.d

   • dict35.i

   • dict35.s

   • dict35.map

   The dictionary is now available in your Spelling Options.
