TL;DR: Taskade uses your browser or OS native spell checker, so the same red squiggle and right-click suggestions you see everywhere else work inside projects too. Supports every language your OS supports — no separate config needed.

- If spell check highlights words that are correct (e.g., technical terms or brand names), right-click the word and choose Add to Dictionary to stop future flags.
- You can add multiple languages in your browser settings so spell check works for multilingual content.
- Spell check in the Desktop app uses the same dictionary as your operating system, so any custom words you have added system-wide will be recognized.
- For grammar and style suggestions beyond basic spell check, consider using a browser extension alongside Taskade.
