Ether-Spell is a free Chrome add-on developed by Milan Gress that allows users to activate spellchecking in Etherpad. As a dyslexic person who heavily relies on spellcheckers, I often find myself frustrated with the lack of spellcheck support in Etherpad. This add-on aims to address this issue and provide a solution for users who need spellchecking assistance while collaborating on Etherpad.

Enabling spellchecking in Etherpad can greatly improve the writing experience for dyslexic individuals and others who rely on spellcheckers. However, it is important to note that enabling spellchecking may impact performance, particularly on older computers or when there are multiple active participants.

Ether-Spell is still a work in progress, so if you come across an Etherpad installation that does not function with this add-on, the developer encourages you to reach out for assistance. With Ether-Spell, you can now enhance your collaborative writing experience on Etherpad by enabling spellchecking and ensuring accurate and error-free content.
