WProofreader SDK

WebSpellChecker Proofreader (WProofreader) SDK is multilingual proofreading tool for web applications. It provides a set of integrations with rich text editors (RTEs) and HTML controls. It enables grammar and spell check combining spelling and grammar suggestions while you type or work with your text in a dedicated dialog. End users just need to hover on the marked words for instant correction suggestions or click the dialog icon in the bottom right corner to have the whole text proofread at once.

Here’s why to choose WProofreader for your web app:

• Both instant spelling and grammar checking, and proofreading in a dialog are now available simultaneously.
• You’ll need a single script to integrate in all types of editable fields.
• The auto-search takes care of detecting new editable fields and enabling proofreading in them automatically.
• New clean and comfy UI includes intuitive suggestion boxes, proofreading on hover, and more.
• The powerful engine checks spelling in over 150 and grammar – in 18 languages in all modern browsers.
• WProofreader is WAI-compliant, up to WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 accessibility standards. The features like keyboard navigation and improved UI readability were added to allow the users, regardless of the limitations they might be facing, to easily proofread their texts in a most convenient manner.
• User custom dictionaries. Some rare or field-specific words may be not recognized by our proofreading engine and reported as a mistake. If the word is spelled correctly a user can add it to his or her own dictionary, to prevent it from being reported in the future.
• Company custom dictionaries are company-wide vocabularies, which are created and set at an admin level on top of the base languages.
