Oodles of improvements to Chrome’s spell checking
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Another stable release of
Chrome
arrives today, bringing you
improved spell checking
in the browser. We’ve refreshed the dictionaries for all languages, and users who speak Korean, Tamil, or Albanian will appreciate that we’ve added support for those languages, too. In addition, users who add custom words to the dictionary can now
sync their settings
to bring those changes to all the devices where they use Chrome.
The “
Ask Google for suggestions
” spell checking feature, powered by the same technologies used by Google search, now supports grammar checking, proper nouns, homonyms, and context-sensitive spell checking in English. This means that you can now enjoy corrections like the following:
Users on Windows, Linux and Chrome OS will receive these enhancements in the coming weeks (we’re still working on Mac support).
If you haven’t used Chrome yet,
give it a try
today.
