Spell check please!

Please, please can we have a spell check and/or autocorrect function in feedback. It's not that I'm bad at spelling (honestly!) but sometimes we misspell a word and it looks unprofessional. All other LMS I have worked on have this feature.

Incidentally, I just misspelled 'misspell' on this very post and it highlighted it. But it doesn't happen when giving feedback on individual questions

  Hi Sara,

  Thank you for posting to the Ideas Forum!

  While we don't have a native spell check function, as Pip has said, Grammarly is great! Many of the staff at aXcelerate have either installed Grammarly onto our computers or have the browser extensions and have found this works excellently within aXcelerate.

  Have you tried using the Grammarly extension for your browser? I think that works with all parts of aXcelerate. I have it on Google Chrome and it is soooooo useful!

  Thanks for the suggestion Pip. I just figure that if they have the function on this forum, then it might just require a box being ticked somewhere else to give to us in feedback.

  Oh my Grammarly thing works on this forum too. It is a really good add-on for use with aXcelerate as it works on file notes, templates and assessment authoring.

  Thanks Madi (and Pip), we will give Grammarly a go then. Thanks for your quick responses.

  Agree, spellcheck is available in other areas of aXcelerate but not here.
  Would be good to get it across the board in the learner portal for assessment submission and for the trainers leaving feedback.

  That's exactly what I thought Ash, but I've been using Grammarly and it's working for me so far!

  It would be good to have a spell check integrated since the current fix means every single user has to have the Grammarly extension which is not going to happen.
