Spell checking is critical particularly for while writing long documents. For the longest time, I have been hesitant to install a spell checking extension like Grammarly as it is added bloat. These will end up running on every site and slow down Chrome. However, it turns out you can enable spell checking directly within Google Chrome. Once enabled, you can use spell check in Dictanote too !

Step 1: Go to Settings chrome://settings

Step 2: Search for ‘spell’ in the Setting page. It will highlight sync and Google service. Click on that tab

Search for spell on Settings Page

Step 3: Scroll to the bottom and enable enhanced spell check

Enable Enhanced spell check

That’s it ! Spell check is now enabled.

Below is Dictanote with spell checking enabled. It works pretty well and it’s great to not have to install an external service.
