Hi everyone,
Turning on my PC this morning, I got a suggestion from Microsoft to install their "Editor" plug-in. These suggestions come up now and then and I usually ignore them, but since it looked to be the kind of thing we've been talking about recently, I was intrigued.
I can confirm it does work! Essentially, it's a bit like grammarly - when you are typing in an edit field on the web (I used the Edge plugin but there is a Chrome one as well which I assume should work too, since both browsers are based on Chromium), it puts a red underline for spelling errors and a blue one for grammar - not dissimilar to Word. NVDA doesn't buzz at you for an error, but when navigating it tells you that you have an error on that line, and reads it when you get to it.

Yep. I’m using it now and love it sans it quirks. But over all, it works quite well. Give it a try.

Is there something similar for Firefox? I know Firefox has a built-in spellchecker but it does not offer correction suggestions unlike in things like Microsoft Word.

Are you talking about the flag words as you type? That feature says
misspelled when you come to a misspelled word you have written.
This works the same way as the feature does in every program I've
used that has it. When you are on the word, open the context menu.
You will see suggestions by down arrowing. Press enter on the
suggestion you want to replace what is in the document. The menu
closes and the word is replaced.

Hi Quentin On a lighter note. That plugin you talk about sounds fantastic, but can you imagine the trouble I’ll have when writing in Afrikaans. Regards Christo Vorster (Worcester South Africa)

I think so yes. Is this already part of Firefox somehow? Cause when I pressed the application key with the misspelled word highlighted I don't see any menu items that lists suggestions.

Chrome has a spelling checker, however no grammar checker. Plus you have to hit alt down arrow for the word checker to give you only 1 correction which sucks. It is usable, yes, a bit of a PITA when you hear “3 errors on this line” and you cannot see what they are until you pass over them and have to hit alt down arrow.

No, in the grammar checker for word, you must use alt down arrow to see the suggestions per the hint that is given. But per the regular spell checker yews contextual menu is correct.

Ther is a grammar checker for chrome that is an extension. It si written by microsoft. It is the same one used by word, that is the one of which we are speaking. This is not the native google spelling checker that ships with the chromium browser.

I recall that yesterday, an add-on was discussed at the outset. My
messages were about the spell check in Chrome itself since I believe
it will do what the person wants. Since you were talking about the
add-on, which I haven't used, I can't discuss that.

Essentially, it's a bit like grammarly - when you are typing in an edit field on the web (I used the Edge plugin but there is a Chrome one as well which I assume should work too, since both browsers are based on Chromium), it puts a red underline for spelling errors and a blue one for grammar - not dissimilar to Word. NVDA doesn't buzz at you for an error, but when navigating it tells you that you have an error on that line, and reads it when you get to it.

Thank you. My primary word processor is google docs. I have added the extension to google chrome. Do I need to do anything else?
