WProofreader is multilingual proofreading tool for web applications. It enables grammar and spell check combining spelling and grammar suggestions while you type or work with your text in a dedicated dialog. WProofreader meets standards of the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), in particular:

• WCAG 2.1
• Section 508 accessibility standards

Thus, all web application users, regardless of the limitations they might be facing, can access main WProofreader features via a keyboard only, thus interacting with it can be more effective and easier. 

Below is an overview of the keyboard commands you can use to proofread your texts, navigate between the spelling and grammar suggestions, add words to a personal user dictionary, and customize WProofreader settings. 

Proofreading Your Text While You Type

As you type your text in a web app with integrated WProofreader, it tries to suggest grammar and spelling suggestions for you on-the-fly and shows the number of discovered issues in the badge in the lower-right part of the editor screen. If no spelling issues found, the badge shows the tick sign inside.
