Quickspell
QuickSpell uses information in the database to limit the keys that can be pressed to present only
those which correspond with information in the database.
For example, if you are looking for LONDON. As you
‘type’ in the name London, only keys that can spell a
town in the database are shown. In the screen to the
right, ‘LON “ has been entered. Keys that would not
continue to spell a town in the database are greyed
out..
This is to enable the town and street names to be
entered quickly, without introoducing any errors due to
typos.
Notes on Entering Data
If you are having trouble getting the results you expected, here are a few useful tips.
•
Make sure that you have spelled the name correctly. If you are unsure of the spelling, just
enter a few characters and tap “OK”. A long list of names will be displayed, but you can
step through the list and you will probably be able to find the correct spelling.
•
When the name of the town has a prefix such as ‘Saint’, ‘The’ ‘Le’, ‘La’ etc. you must
enter this prefix in order to obtain the expected result.
•
When entering a street name, you can usually enter only one of the significant words in
the street name to retrieve it from the database. However, if you are having trouble finding
the street you are looking for, we recommend trying to type in its full name.
•
The more characters you enter, the smaller the list of entries found will be.
