Are you a web developer, and have ever sent a page to a client with spelling error or typo? Or you are just a cautious one who is afraid to let this happen one day? If yes, then this small extension is just for you.
It lets you check the spelling directly on the web-page in Chrome. This way you can easily identify and fix the errors which gets missed in your favourite HTML editor even when it has also spell-check support. As this uses the Google Chrome spell checker, so it also shows the you corrections for the typo and spelling mistakes and let you edit the typos directly in the web-page.

- (2025-06-06) Kurt Wilson: This "whatever-you-call-it" caused me all kinds of problems. It literally attached itself to my keyboard control and caused the cursor to jump out of text boxes and begin typing and rewriting text on webpages. Perhaps if I was a mischeivious hacker this would be fine, but I am not. I'm trying to get homework done for school and build out a website. This tool doesn;t speel check anything it simply allows the cursor to jump into read only spaces and rewites other people's web pages. I cannot recommend this in any way.

- (2024-12-22) Ramvt211: Hi, I found the spelling check chrome extension and its great! Is it possible get the project zip file? If its an open source project. We want to use it on our automation tests
- (2024-05-22) Leeroy Jenkins: uninstalled and yet I still have the blinking text cursor and can't get rid of it
- (2024-04-04) Will Archer: it worked for me after some playing around, however i get a weird issue where it automatically adds cursor: text; CSS to all my icons, buttons and links. Overriding the usual cursor: pointer; This is happening whenever the extension is activated, even if its not spell checking the website. I have to keep it turned off and remember to turn it on when i need it

- (2022-03-29) Rajesh: This is a fantastic extension. I experimented with 5 to 6 extensions. However, no one met my criteria. Webpage Spell-Check is simple to use and effective.

- (2021-06-15) Doesn't work for me even after changing data in page source. Besides control + drop key does not enable edit mode for this site https://lively.payactiv.com/welcome
- (2021-06-12) Ostap1974: I think the extension misrepresents itself a bit. The advertised spelling functionality is actually nothing more than switching documents contentEditable flag on and off, extension itself is not involved in spelling in any way or form. Sadly it means, that the approach is what it is and there is very little room for future improvement.

- (2021-03-25) Sarah Carling: Doesn't work at all - and before the dev asks, yes I activated it for the page, then the site, then everything, then I browsed to a dozen different sites and the only thing I ever get is a message saying results will be available in a few seconds. My patience ran out at three minutes.

- (2020-08-24) Heather Burdsal: Works well. I work in higher ed with some complex vocabulary, and this tool didn't overcorrect and mark difficult words as misspelled, as some other extensions did. I like the toggle feature, too--makes this very user-friendly.

- (2020-04-12) dmitrizzle: Not perfect but works well. It turns all text elements into input fields, which forces Chrome to apply spellcheck. This is great because it's a trusted spellcheck engine, however, this breaks the UX so it would have been nice to see a more refined interface for switching it on/off. The privacy policy is also not listed, it would be nice to know that the plugin does not sell or store my data; I would be happy to pay a few bucks for this tool provided it does the above things.
