Use Google Search as Google Chrome's spell checker

Question

I think that the Google Chrome spell checker sucks. I know that Google (the search engine) has a superb spell checker for users who submit queries into Google search engine.

Is there any to run misspelled words through Google.com and have the list of possible alternatives be the search suggestions?

Are there another dictionaries I could use instead of the default for Google Chrome?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is no way to do what you want, and I doubt that they will implement it anytime soon.

Further, there are few alternative dictionaries because even though it is an open format and based on another open format, it is a relatively new one and it seems nobody has bothered to make their own (ironically implying that the default one is good enough).

Your best bet is to submit a feature-request and cross your fingers.

Answer 2

Try the After the Deadline extension for Chrome.

After the Deadline uses artificial intelligence to check spelling, style, and grammar. Use it to check your tweets, find mistakes in your email, and socialize with confidence. Click the ABC icon in the lower-right corner of an editable area to proofread your writing.
