How to enable Windows Spellchecker in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge

Always have good writing skills with precision maintenance if you want to create powerful content. The focus is usually on how it makes the meaning clearer and simpler rather than just collecting a bunch of misspelled words.

To avoid having such stupid errors, you can use the Windows Spellchecker tool. The feature works on Windows 8.1 and above. It can be activated by activating a hidden indicator in the Google Chrome Experiment section.

In addition, this feature is also available for Microsoft Edge and other Chromium-based browsers. So let’s see how to activate it.

Activate Windows spell checker in Chrome browser

To activate this feature in Google Chrome, follow the steps below:

First, launch the Chrome browser.

Now go to the address bar, type the following text, then tap the Enter key.

chrome://flags/

This will open the flags page and start displaying the available flags.

In the search box, type the command below, then press Enter.

#win-use-native-spellchecker

Alternatively, you can use the link below to open the flag directly –

chrome://flags/#win-use-native-spellchecker

Look for the flag highlighted in bright yellow at the top of the list, i.e. Use the Windows operating system spell checker.

The flag is currently set to Default mode which indicates that the flag is disabled at this time.

To activate it, click on the corresponding drop-down menu and change the Default option for Activated.

In addition, to use the Hunspell engine, type the text of the code given in the URL bar and press Enter –

chrome://flags/#win-use-hybrid-spellchecker

His description says-

Use both the Windows operating system spelling checker and the Hunspell engine to find spelling mistakes and provide spelling suggestions. Use Windows OS spell checker first, but if a language is not supported, switch back to the Hunspell engine. The function flag “Use the Windows operating system spell checker” must be activated, otherwise it will have no effect.

Here you need to restart your browser to apply the changes. So click on the Revive button.

Activate Windows SpellChecker in Microsoft Edge

Open the Microsoft Edge browser.

Once it opens, go to the address bar and type the commands below –
