Misspelled - Chat Spellchecker
Misspelled is a chat spell-checker addon. Misspelled watches the chat messages you type, highlighting any misspellings and offering suggestions for any misspelled words it finds.
I've included in the US & UK English dictionaries some Warcraft specific proper nouns, including the zone names, and all dungeon and raid boss names. Your friends and guild members are also automatically added, and shouldn't get flagged as misspelled words..Misspelled utilizes the HunSpell style, affix (prefix/suffix) compressed dictionaries. The same ones used in Chrome, Firefox, and OpenOffice. Misspelled provides suggestions based on words that phonetically sound like the misspelled word, along with providing suggestions based on common mistakes of spelling. While Misspelled can detect nearly the same number of individually correctly spelled words as OpenOffice, it's suggestion engine, is "somewhat" less complicated, than the HunSpell implementation.
Misspelled includes dictionaries for US-English, UK-English, French, German, Italian, Russian (experimental), and Spanish. The appropriate dictionary, for your game client locale, will auto-load, or you can manually choose what dictionary to use from Misspelled's Interface/Addons options page.
I'm attempting to localize the menus and configuration page. You can help by visiting: http://www.wowace.com/addons/misspelled/localization
Misspelled works with WIM (Wow Instant Messenger), and is compatible with: Prat, Skinner, and Chatter.
Usage note: Spell Checking is performed as you complete each word you've typed. The last word in the chat box, isn't spell checked until you type some form of word terminator, either a period, space, or some other word separating punctuation. Spell checking is very fast; but isn't performed needlessly, while a word is being typed.
Misspelled is compatible with Wow, Wow Classic/Wrath/Cata If you are having problems with Misspelled, please try updating or disabling all other chat addons you may be running.

Posted Aug 9, 2025Broken. Any words that it views as "spelled wrong" it will not send the chat message for. Other's have already said it but saying it again.

Posted Aug 8, 2025For people having issues, I'll type out the message and copy/paste it back into chat before it can check the spellings. this way i can still have spell check for the first part.
It becomes a issue with linking achievements as it'll try to do it as plain text, but achievements were becoming an issue even last patch with it trying to spell check them

Posted Aug 7, 2025For 11.2 it refuses to allow any chat lines to send if they include toon names. Might also not transmit chat lines that include misspelled or unrecognized words. Probably related to error reported by Nubchjuka.

Posted Aug 7, 2025If the addon highlights a word that I have typed, the message does not get sent when I hit enter. and any subsequent message I try to send also does not send even if those messages are not highlighted. I need to reload to be able to send messages again.
There is no error message with this happening.

Posted Aug 8, 2025In reply to Nubchuka: Indeed, can confirm I am also seeing the same issue. Even if the addon is disabled and the the message is sent from a chat history, ie. using Prat and has highlights it still wont send. Myself and no one else sees it. No warning no errors, the message is just gobbled up silently never to be seen again... very sad!
It is only when the message is retyped (even with the same errors) while the addon is disabled the highlighting stops and the message will get though.
Have disabled it for now as my fat fingers make too many errors. Hoping for a fix soon!

Posted Mar 30, 2025Is there a way to change the color of the misspelled word? I find the default hard to see. I would like to change it to red.

You can change line #122 in Misspelled.lua to and hex color value you choose:
<pre>local SPELLED_WRONG_HIGHLIGHT = "|cff7dc6fb" </pre>
Just update the last 6 characters of the value.
