Troubleshooting
A correct word is underlined
Section titled “A correct word is underlined”The lexicon does not hold every word, especially names and new words. Choose Ignore on the card. If a rule is wrong about a sentence, please open an issue with the sentence.
There are no spelling suggestions at first
Section titled “There are no spelling suggestions at first”The checker loads about 2 MB of word data for each variety when it first needs it. Grammar works straight away, and spelling joins in once that has loaded.
It is checking in the wrong variety
Section titled “It is checking in the wrong variety”Very short texts are hard to identify. Choose the variety above the text field.
It stopped working offline
Section titled “It stopped working offline”The site is kept for offline use after your first visit. Clearing your browser’s site data removes that copy, and the next visit online restores it.
Nothing is underlined in Google Docs
Section titled “Nothing is underlined in Google Docs”Google Docs and similar editors draw their text themselves instead of using a text field, so no extension can read it. Write there with the desktop app beside it, or copy the text into the checker and back.
