Microsoft’s flagship browser, Edge, is equipped with many features. For example, it comes with a spell-checking feature to help you rectify a mistake (misspelled word) in any supported language you read. So, let’s see how to enable or disable spell checking in Edge or for a specific language.
Turn on or off spell checking in Edge for a specific language
For most, Edge works like a traditional browser but gains the upper hand when offering privacy and customization options. So, if you are interested in enabling or disabling spell-checking in Edge, follow these steps:
- Launch the Edge browser.
- When the browser window opens, click the three-dot menu on the top-right and select settings.
- Select Languages menu.
- Under Writing assistance > Writing assistance languages, locate the language in which you want to toggle the spell check.
- Toggle Grammar check for that language
When done with the steps, Microsoft Edge will only check the spelling for the languages you just chose.

What is the difference between spell check and AutoCorrect?
AutoCorrect changes errors without user consent, while spell-check highlights misspellings. At times, auto-correct can be misleading, and it’s best to use an extension that only highlights the problem and allows you to take a call.
