Currently it is possible to activate the spell checker in apps like Mozilla Thunderbird . This is also the case of the Google browser, so today we show you how to activate the Google Chrome spell checker on Android, iPhone or PC .
Activate Google Chrome’s spell checker on PC
- In the case of PC, to activate the spell checker in the Google Chrome application, it will be necessary to go to the settings . To do this, simply press on the three vertical points located above and to the right of the browser.
- Here simply click on “Settings”. On the left side of the screen you will see a sliding menu, press on the three horizontal lines at the top to display it.
- You will find the sub menu “Languages”, click on it. This section shows all the language options. Either way, this time we’re going to focus on spell checking.
- Check if the “Spell Check “ option is activated, if not, simply click on the button to activate it. As you will see, there are two spell checking options, one basic and one enhanced.
- The basic review will be based solely on the dictionary included by default with Google Chrome. On the other hand, the enhanced proofreading does an Internet search for the purpose of verifying the written word. Select the option that suits your needs.
Also for the PC it is highly recommended to change the language of the spell checker in Word , if it is not set to Spanish. On the other hand, let’s see what is the process to activate the spell checker on mobile phones .
Activate the spell checker on Android and iPhone mobile devices
Although on the PC there is even the possibility of activating the spell checker on Facebook , in the case of mobile devices, the situation is somewhat different, since there is no way to activate the spell check as in the desktop application. Previously, these functions could be accessed through chrome: // flags , which displayed hidden browser options.
However, in recent updates the spell check is not available. Even so, many times it is simply not necessary, since keyboards on mobile devices often have the correction option included .
In fact, it is best to enable this option on your keyboard. Clearly this will vary depending on the mobile device you have and the keyboard you have. In any case, we will teach you to check if spell checking is activated on your mobile keyboard.
Turn on spell checking on the keyboard for Android devices
The following process may vary depending on the device, although it is not far from what we will show you below.
- First, go to the “Settings” section of your mobile device.
- Now locate the option “General Administration”. The “Language and input” section will be displayed here. In this section, the languages preferred by the user are shown, this time looking for “Entry assistance” .
- Here the option “Spell correction” will be displayed, click on it. Notice that at the top the option is shown as “Activated”. If so, the mobile will be checking that your spelling is correct while you write.
- In this section you can also change some settings. For example, if you click on “Default corrector” you can change the correction tool. Certainly here we recommend you to select the “Google spell checker” , as it is one of the best out there.
- Clearly you can also disable the spell checker on Android at any time if it is not useful, since for many it is somewhat uncomfortable.
Activate spell checker for iPhone
In Apple brand devices we also have the ability to access a spell checker through keyboard actions.
- The process is similar to Android, just go to the “Settings” application .
- Here, locate the “General” section and then click on the “Keyboard” option .
- You will see that many options related to the correction of your texts are shown. This time you simply have to activate “Check Spelling” and optionally you can enable “AutoCorrect”, but keep in mind that the latter will automatically change what you type.
