Check for spelling and grammar mistakes (depending on which browser or device you're using)

Book Creator uses your device and browser settings to provide spelling and grammar capabilities.

So the first thing to do is to check browser or device settings to see what options are available to you.

For Book Creator web version

For example, if you're using Book Creator web version in a Chrome browser, any words that are misspelled will be underlined in red in the text editor.

On some devices, you can right-click on the word and you'll be offered an alternative. You can check your settings in Chrome's Settings.

πŸ’¬ Note: Words will not be underlined when you leave the text editor and view the text on the page.

A text box with the text "Check your speling!" with the word "speling" underlined in red. There are options for bold, italics, underline, and a link. There is also a microphone icon, a magnifying glass icon, and the options "CANCEL" and "DONE".

For Book Creator iPad app

If you're using an iPad, you can turn on spell check and predictive text at Settings > General > Keyboard.

You can also turn on other useful typing aids such as Auto-Capitalization, Auto-Correction and Smart Punctuation.

On the right side of the screen, the "Keyboards" menu is open, with options for "Auto-Capitalisation", "Auto-Correction", "Enable Caps Lock", "Shortcuts", "Smart Punctuation", "Split Keyboard", "Enable Key Flicks", and "." Shortcut".

Turn off spell check for a library

As a teacher you can also explicitly turn off spell check for all the books in a specific library. Open the library's settings and disable (toggle off) Use spell check. This will ensure students can't use spell check whatever their device or browser settings, perfect for a spelling test!

The image shows three options: "Add comments" and "Use spell check" are enabled, while "Translate" is disabled.
