Microsoft Editor: Spelling & Grammar Checker Extension

Editor provides advanced writing assistance with grammar, spelling, and style suggestions across the web (1) so you can confidently write clear, concise posts and emails.

Write like a pro with intelligent writing assistance
Nail the basics with free grammar, advanced grammar, spelling, and punctuation proofing. Go beyond basics with advanced style-checking for issues like clarity, conciseness, formality, vocabulary, and much more with premium (requires a Microsoft 365 subscription).

Personalize it to your needs
With Editor, you can add custom words (like names you frequently use or acronyms) to create your personal dictionary; look for “Add to dictionary” when Editor makes a spelling suggestion. Your personal dictionary roams with you wherever you use Editor – across the web with browser extension and built-in to your Microsoft 365 apps. We’ve also made it easy to skip all occurrences of a spelling correction by selecting Ignore All, or skip unwanted grammar suggestions by selecting Ignore. Editor will now automatically correct misspelled words as you type. A new green highlight will show you that a word has been autocorrected. In addition, Settings gives you a way to fine-tune your preferences for writing suggestions and personalize it even further.

Write anywhere
Get writing assistance on sites like LinkedIn, Gmail, Facebook, and other favorites with this browser extension. If you want Editor's assistance in the Office apps where you write the most, open Word or Outlook on the web and get suggestions to improve your documents and email.

Get assistance in multiple languages
Check spelling and grammar for up to three languages at the same time with multi-language proofing. Editor checks spelling in more than 80 languages and provides grammar checking and writing-style refinements in 21 languages.

Languages available for grammar and refinements: Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish

Vagelis L. (ID: 000000b3b6d99185) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2024 Τη χρησιμοποιώ από το 2021, για να τονίζω τις λέξεις κυρίως μετά το τέλος εγγραφής του κειμένου. Τις περισσότερες φορές πάντα προτείνει τη σωστή λέξη για να επιλέξεις. Επίσης βοηθάει πολύ και στην ορθογραφία. Το μόνο κακό που έχω βρει είναι ότι δεν μπορείς να προσθέσεις τις δικιές σου λέξεις. Επίσης θα ήθελα να έχει τη δυνατότητα να κάνει αυτόματα το τονισμό.

Rick Allen (ID: 0000007231476aff) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/27/2023 It's OK, but it's got a ways to go. There are plenty of time and situations where it will make suggestions, but if you click it simply refuses to make the change, or worse, it will duplicate a bunch of text around the change forcing you to have to carefully undo what it did or make the changes manually. I have not kept records, but I'd say about 20-30% of the time it malfunctions in some way. The rest of the time it's pretty good. It is every bit as good as Grammarly was. In fact, I think it's better than Grammarly was, becasue Grammarly had the same issues I noted but a much larger percentage of the time.
