Previously I wrote on how to make a IE Spell check addon with the Google toolbar that has freely available spell checker features. The same can be used as a workaround for Firefox browser. The same spell checker feature is available in Google chrome without the need to download Google Toolbar (also Google toolbar for Chrome isn’t released yet).
Enable Spell Check in Chrome
In my Google chrome browser, the Spell check feature was enabled by default (English spell check only). All you have to do is navigate to “Customize and Control Google Chrome” button where you’ll find “Options”, once you click on it – a dialog box pops up.
Now move over to “Minor tweaks” tab and click on “Change font and language settings” and hit the “Languages” tab where you will find check spelling feature as shown in the screenshot. The best past is you can add other language spell check quickly with the “Add” button. Pretty easy!

Thank you.
I also have done this and spell check still does not work in my googlechrome or gmail…thinking about switching back to firefox.
I did all of this and my spell check still doesn’t work..
Is there anything else I can do?
@Nihar – Glad you like it Nihar.
@Jake | Web Journey – Yes, it is enabled by default on your latest version of Chrome browser.
Thanks for dropping by
You know it’s weird but Google Chrome spellchecker was enabled by default for me. Do you know why this it?
Great tip!
Thanks.
