WProofreader add-on for rich text editors is a 2-in-1 solution that combines spell & grammar check as you type and in-dialog modes and can be conveniently integrated in any HTML editable tag or modern rich text editor (RTE).

Check out the list of all supported integrations. 

WProofreader is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Section 508 and comes along with keyboard navigation. Users with limited abilities can proofread, switch between the modes, tweak WProofreader settings and complete other tasks using keyboard shortcuts only.

This guide is for WProofreader users and developers integrating WProofreader into their clients’ infrastructure. 

Check the below keyboard commands to use WProofreader.

Proofreading in the as you type mode 

WProofreader checks users’ texts in editable HTML tags and rich text editors for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors while the user is typing.

The orange badge in the bottom right corner of the text box displays the total number of grammar, spelling and punctuation issues found in the active element.

If there are no issues, you can see the tick sign in the badge.
