Is there any spellchecker?

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around the availability of a jQuery spellchecker for Discourse. Juraj_Štefánik inquired about a jQuery spellchecker, and merefield advised against using jQuery, citing its impending removal from Ember and Discourse.

Merefield suggested using Vanilla modern JavaScript instead. Falco pointed out that there are no existing spellchecking extensions for Discourse due to browsers usually providing this feature natively or via extensions, but mentioned that many JavaScript spellchecking projects exist, such as https://www.javascriptspellcheck.com/.

Robin.Grant expressed the need for a built-in spellchecker, citing that users of their install do not use browser spellcheckers. Arkshine suggested using the AI Helper plugin, which can function as a spellchecker, and demonstrated its effectiveness by testing it on Robin.Grant’s message.

Hello,

Is there a jQuery spellchecker? I know that it exists in the browser, but that is unsatisfactory

thank you

I would avoid jQuery as much as possible.

Thank you for the information. And another alternative to my question?

No, there aren’t any existing spellchecking extension for Discourse at the moment. Mostly because that is usually provided by the user browser, either natively or via browser extensions (like the super popular Grammarly).

If you looking into developing a new #theme-components, there are many JS spellchecking projects on the wild, like https://www.javascriptspellcheck.com/.

Just to say it would be super useful to have a built in spellchecker - all of my install’s users clearly are not using a spellchecker on thier browsers!

You can with AI Helper.

Let’s test with your message :smile:

I think this is a great solution. :+1:
