Duden Korrektor

This feature is only included in SoftMaker Office Professional and NX Universal. It is not available in the Android and iOS version or in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

In SoftMaker Office Professional/NX Universal, TextMaker also contains the Duden Korrektor from Dudenverlag in addition to its existing language tools.

This includes spell check and hyphenation modules that can be used instead of the built-in modules. A grammar check module is also available.

Note: All modules of the Duden Korrektor only work for text in the language "German (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, etc.)".

The following sections contain a detailed description of the Duden Korrektor. The information covers the following topics:

Using the Duden spell check

Duden Korrektor can also check the spelling in your documents:
Simply enable the option Use Duden Korrektor for German spell check in the settings. From now on, the spell check will no longer use the spell check module integrated in TextMaker, but will use the spell check module of the Duden Korrektor instead.

Using the Duden hyphenation

The same applies to automatic hyphenation:
To do so, enable the option Use Duden Korrektor for German hyphenation in the settings. Once this has been done, hyphenation will be performed by the corresponding module of the Duden Korrektor rather than by the module integrated in TextMaker.

Using the Duden grammar check

The option Use Duden Korrektor for German grammar check adds a particularly interesting new feature to TextMaker:
The Duden grammar check basically works in the same manner as the function Check spelling as you type. However, it searches for grammatical errors rather than spelling errors. Grammatical errors are underlined in green. If you point to such an error with the mouse, an explanation will appear.

Configuring Duden Korrektor

In the last section, you will become familiar with the dialog box Duden Korrektor options, which you can use to configure the individual modules of the Duden Korrektor to your liking.
