I suck at spelling and would like to know a word I have typed is wrong or not. Ideally with a red underline.
I really struggle looking at text I have written and seeing the mistakes. I have tried Samsung, openboard, gboard. None seem to fix the issue.
I’m willing to download anything as long as it’s not a privacy concern. Is there any way to get what I want.
I have a Samsung 22+ if that makes a difference
Glenrambo fixed it:
Settings > General Management > Language > Spelling Correction > Default spell checker.
It seems like there IS a spell check, but it doesn’t catch a lot of content
For example, it works here: ottertttt
It doesn’t work here: suk att
I’ve heard good things about LanguageTool as a privacy friendly option, could you try that?

Edit: actually this one is no longer maintained
First thing that I noticed on that link
“We’ve seen cases where it doesn’t work on Samsung devices. The reason why is that Samsung changes the spell-checking API that Android provides, making it impossible to actually do any check”
Fuck I got a Samsung. I’ll have a better look later.
