lord_funk YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 9	Possible to spell check? Apr 18th, 2009, 10:49am   I'm hoping to include a spell check lookup in a Processing sketch.  Essentially, I want to take a string and check to see if it is an English word or not. Is there a Java function that I can use?  I'm running OS X, if that makes a difference.
