Abstract

A system and method are provided for enabling a wireless hand-held device to interface with a server-based spell check engine. A user views available features and functionality associated with a spell check engine on a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a wireless hand-held device. The user performs interface actions of the spell checking process on the wireless hand-held device itself, such as observing the misspelled words, selecting a spelling from a list of alternatives, placing a word to a saved 'ignore list', or other display components associated with a spell check engine. Various functions of the spell checking process are performed remotely via a server-based spell check engine. The remote spell check engine includes a number of enhanced resources such as increased processing power and memory, a larger lexicon, a larger dictionary, or other enhanced spell-checking resources. Once spell check processing on the server is complete, results in a format that incorporate the original text are transmitted back to the wireless hand-held device.
