KDP Spellchecker during upload?
Is this something new? When I uploaded a compilation/omnibus today, it spell checked it for me! I was even able to email myself a list of stuff I was horrified to see made it through the individual books' proofings.

I would like to see that. I wonder how it handles British vs American spellings. Foreign language - oooh how about Klingon? or German umlats. Does it pick up extra spaces before periods and commas? or homophones in the wrong place?
The list is LONG. I use a lot of made up words cause it's fiction and what not.Hello from Amazon KDP!
The book "Mythical, The Series (Omnibus #1)" you recently submitted to KDP has possible spelling errors in your converted file. Consider correcting these and resubmitting.
Note: If you need to fix any of these potential typos, please do so in your digital manuscript and then upload the corrected file. We also recommend running spell-check if you have not done so. Learn more.
Here are the errors we recommend you address by correcting your manuscript:
But here's what one looked like in the list:

It didn't flag any of the Spanish words I had here and there. But the most bizarre was a totally made up name "Ketzkahtel" was not flagged, but the misspelling in one place, "Kaetzkahtel" was. Weird.PeggyI said:I would like to see that. I wonder how it handles British vs American spellings. Foreign language - oooh how about Klingon? or German umlats.

Huh. Gotta say, sounds like they built a spellchecker that's smarter than the average bear.CEMartin2 said:It didn't flag any of the Spanish words I had here and there.

I wonder if this is a beta/random feature, because I haven't seen it!
I thought you folks were pulling legs when someone mentioned it the other day.

It was there on the last book I uploaded on the 23rd. There was one word, and it was a grammar issue. I was pleasantly surprised.
It was there when I uploaded the latest edited The 15th Star on December 19th. It only found one mistake, where I had left the s out of Mary Pickersgill's name.
It didn't blink at the dropped g's (slang) or the unusual names, so yes, it is smarter then your average spell checker.
