Using spell check with Front

If you're using Front on your web browser, Front uses your browser's built-in spell checker. If you're using the desktop app, Front uses your computer's (operating system's) spell checker. In both cases, spell check is provided by the browser or OS — not by Front itself.

You can also use Grammarly’s desktop app or browser extension for suggestions on spelling, punctuation, and grammar correction.
