# Spell Check

How to enable and use spell checking in PaintScout through browser settings and Grammarly

PaintScout does not have a built-in spell checker, but your browser's native spell check works within the platform. Misspelled words appear with a red underline, just like in any other web application. You can also use the Grammarly extension for more advanced checks.

If you do not see the red underline for misspelled words, your browser's spell check may be disabled.

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.

1. Open **Settings** and tap **General**.
2. Select **Keyboard**.
3. Enable **Auto-Correction**.

### What about Grammarly?

Grammarly is a browser extension that provides advanced grammar, spelling, and style checks. It works seamlessly within PaintScout, offering a more robust alternative to built-in browser spell check.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.paintscout.com/support/resources/frequently-asked-questions/spell-check-in-paintscout.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
