Spell Check Overview

While we currently do not have an internal spell-check system, you aren't out of luck -browsers like Chrome, Safari, and iOS already have spell-check systems in place that can be utilized within PaintScout.

When you type a misspelled word in PaintScout, you should see a red underline appear beneath it, indicating that the word is misspelled. This is the same visual cue used by many popular browsers.

If you're not seeing the red underline for misspelled words, it may be because your spell-check feature is turned off in your browser or device settings.


Troubleshooting spell check on your browser

Safari (on a computer)

  1. Open Safari, then open the Edit menu from the top of the screen.

  2. Find "Spelling and Grammar" and hover your cursor over it.

  3. Ensure that "Check Spelling While Typing" is turned on (if it's turned on it will have a checkmark on it). Click the option to turn it on/off.

Safari (on mobile)

  1. Open Settings and tap General.

  2. Select Keyboard.

  3. Enable Auto-Correction.

Chrome (on a computer)

  1. Select the three dots on the top right of your browser window.

  2. Go to Settings

  4. To the right of Spell check toggle it on.

Grammarly

If you are looking for a more robust solution for your spell check we highly recommend installing the Grammarly extension: a powerful tool that offers advanced grammar, spelling, and punctuation checks, along with suggestions for clarity and style improvements. The best part is that Grammarly seamlessly integrates with your browser, so you can enjoy its benefits without leaving PaintScout!
