To improve search and search accuracy, browsers have built in an autocorrect class for spelling. Thanks to this feature, many people have improved their writing both when searching the internet and when they want to send writing to another person.
The Edge web browser developed by the Microsoft company has this feature built in to help people with searches and better results. In short, we are going to show you what are the methods that you can use to activate the spell check in the Edge, how to configure it and how to deactivate it.
What are the methods you can use to enable autocorrect in Edge?
There are several methods that can be used to activate the built-in Edge browser auto-spell checker. This can be activated in at least two ways, which are from the configuration and using a kind of URL, which leads to the configuration.
The only two ways to activate the spell checker in the browser are these and the process from both places always changes. However, it is good that you know that the Edge web browser has some options which can be used to improve the performance of each of its features.
When you have time, it would be good if you take a look at that way to improve the performance of the functions that the browser brings. By the way, with said browser there is even a specific option to save the passwords of each of the accounts you have.
Now, since we have talked a bit about the browser, it is time to explain how the autocorrect is activated. Pay attention to the following two subtopics:
with the settings
We’ll start with the setup method first as it’s the most complicated way to turn on autocorrect. Do all of the following to turn on autocorrect:
- Locate the browser
- open the edge
- Go directly to the browser settings
- Access the ‘Language’ section, for this you may have to enter the advanced settings
- Select the option ‘Spell checker’, activate it and go on to select the language for the correction
In this way, the spell checker is activated within the Edge browser, to improve the accuracy with which you write text and this type of thing. On the other hand, in case you have problems activating the spell checker, you can access the web for Edge technical support.
Right on that web page you can search for information on the problems that always appear in the web browser. There on that website you can even learn how to use the browser.
Using the URL
Using a URL is the other way to activate the spell checker in Microsoft’s Edge browser compatible with almost all devices. Pay attention to the following indications:
- Locate and open the browser
- Go to the search bar where the URLs are placed
- What you’re going to put in that bar is this ‘Use the Windows OS spell checker’
- To finish, just change the detail on the screen from ‘Default’ to ‘Enabled’
With this, you will be able to enable the Edge spell check to be used and correct all the writing you enter. It should be noted that, if when you enter the browser settings you can’t find the ‘Spell correction’ option anywhere, it’s because you don’t have the latest version of Edge.
This feature is only available in the latest versions of the browser. Therefore, if this corrector does not appear, you should go on to install the latest version of Edge. Once you have it updated, you can go on to use the processes that we mentioned before.
How can you configure your Microsoft Edge spell checker?
By having the spell checker activated within your browser, if you wish you can make a few changes to it. This is done as follows:
- Open Microsoft Edge on your mobile device
- Access the settings
- Enter the ‘Languages’ section
- Look for the option ‘Spell check’ or otherwise ‘Spell check’
- To finish, modify details such as the language that will be used for spell checking, everything you want and then save the changes
In this browser sometimes the full list of options to adjust the spell checker is displayed. Because of this, you have to look well within the browser settings, if you want to edit the autocorrect.
What steps should you take to disable your browser’s autocorrect?
Perhaps you have activated the autocorrect within your Edge browser, but you did not like it at all. If so, you can disable it as follows:
- Access the settings
- Go to the ‘File’ section
- Then, go into ‘Options’ and ‘Review’
- To finish, just uncheck a box that says ‘Turn off spell checking’ and that’s it.
