Spell check.

I searched this topic can cannot find a clear answer.

Quick question:
Is there a 'traditional' spell check on the SGS3 Android that when a word is misspelled it has a red line under it to flag that word as not in the dictionary? I'm not talking predictive text, or auto correct. I want to write an e-mail, then go back and review all the misspelled words. I'm looking for the EXACT (or close to it) way Blackberry and iPhone do spell check.

Thanks in advance.


Background:
Last year I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket, but for some reason it did not play nice with my company's exchange server (nobody ever could figure that out). That problem, coupled with not have a "traditional" spell check, I decided to go iPhone just to get a phone that operated with my work e-mail AND could show me the misspelled words in e-mails i wrote when i was done writing. Now, I have an opportunity to change back to android, but I still NEED traditional spell check.
 
Did you ever get an answer to your post on spell check? I, too, am looking for a solution to the spell check issue. I had used a BlackBerry and really loved the way that spell check was done. The Galaxy S III is great except for this issue. Does anyone have a solution? I have tried some apps - but the are so bad and cumbersome as to be useless. Help!!!

Click to expand...

Short awnser: no

Long awnser: why type somthing broken then go back to fix it? Just click the right word as it comes up. Sounds like google think to me.

Not to say it dosent exist.
Have you tried an exaustive google search?
 
There seems to be no way to replace the Andriod spell check that learns from my spelling errors....best example is Israel....after I type it in Isreal the correct spelling is replaced with the wrong spelling in the spell check so every time I spell it wrong after the first time Andriod suggests the incorrect spelling.....there doesnt seem to be a way to get the correct spelling back....unless you spell correct yourself.....thus the spell check in Andriod isnt of assistance.....not like the old spell checks that kept to dictionary spellings and would always come up with the correct spelling......even now after all above typing errors Andriod Spell Check is not assisting. I miss Blackberry...where I could even add in my own acronyms (edit the dictionary) or Word MS that would underline incorrect words and even sentances....
 
I have been searching for 1.5 years for a away to improve Andriod Spell Check....just find useless apps that only work inside the specific app. Cut and Paste after that.....which can also to a nuisance.
