- Spelling only. It does not check grammar or whether a correctly spelled word is the right one, such as there and their.
- Names, brand names and technical terms may be flagged even when correct.
- Spell-checking depends on your browser's dictionary language, so make sure it matches your text.
- You can also enter a page URL and select Fetch & Check to pull in that page's text. This only works for pages that are publicly reachable.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does the spell checker work?
This tool uses your web browser's built-in spell checking engine, which is the same technology used in Gmail, Google Docs, and other web applications.
Why isn't spell check working?
Make sure spell checking is enabled in your browser settings. In most browsers, you can right-click in the text box and enable "Check Spelling" or similar option.
Does it check grammar too?
This tool primarily checks spelling. Some browsers also check basic grammar, but for comprehensive grammar checking, consider dedicated grammar tools.
Is my text saved or stored?
No. All spell checking happens in your browser. Your text is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere. It's completely private.
