NOyoureTHEwhale 3 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 As the title states, I am no longer able to add any words to my peronsonal dictionary. Either the button no longer exists for me or it has been moved. In addition this removed everything previously in my dictionary and all my notes are filled with little red squigly lines. Quite annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this, or can tell me the feature is gone, I would be extremely grateful. 3 Link to comment
Bryan_C 3 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I too can no longer add new word spellings to the dictionary. Evernote used to be a reliable tool for my ICU visits when visiting my wife. I went in looking like an unprepared fool yesterday when my critical notes lost formatting as well after the "upgrade" to the "New" Nevernote! I'm extremely angry about this garbage that I'm now paying for. How could there be such a crucial mis step in an upgrade? There are, of course other issues with the new Evernote as well. Trash this upgrade Evernote and get it right this next time. 1 Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted November 23, 2020 Evernote Expert Share Posted November 23, 2020 The ability to add words to a user dictionary has been removed. It isn't clear whether there is a plan for this to be returned in one of the coming updates. Version 10 is not an upgrade to v6.25 it is a new platform upon which a new version is being built. So for the time being the best advice is to stick with the legacy version which can be used on its own or alongside the developing version 10.x Link to comment
Jon Lemon 3 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I am just curious why this is not a top priority for Evernote. I use the program to take notes for biotech/biochem courses which means every other word is underlined in red. I'm considering cancelling my subscription and checking out other software if they don't fix this soon. 3 Link to comment
Dug 4 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I'm going to be blunt. If I can't add words to the dictionary I'll stop my subscription. Plain and simple. Add to dictionary is a pretty basic feature of ANY TEXT EDITOR ANYWHERE. I'll go back to using Apple Notes. I'll Grumble, but at least I'll not have to look at red-underlined words throughout my notes. 3 Link to comment
Naisynay 2 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Please, please restore this basic function 1 Link to comment
Teddd 6 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Adding to the dictionary is an important feature but without the option to disable the spellcheck highlighting it is an essential feature. 2 Link to comment

Simon Voogd 0 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Does this mean that my built-up library with words I deem correct is gone too .... aaarrgggghhhhh That's horrible - year's of finetuning gone forever - makes me wanna cry ... Isn't there some rule in programming to make something better without removing well-used features without telling beforehand? Link to comment

Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted December 9, 2020 Evernote Expert Share Posted December 9, 2020 Spell Check is now reported as scheduled for version 10.6 Can't say what that will provide - could be everything you want or just a basic option to change/add dictionaries. Link to comment

LaFlamme 81 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 When I was using EN in Windows, I always stuck to an older version, for a variety of reasons. Now that I'm on Linux, that's not an option for me. The Beta version just came out so there IS no older version. Why they would remove this function is a real head-scratcher. Link to comment
