Problem

ZenNotes currently has no built-in spell checking, makingit easy to overlook spelling mistakes while writing notes, documentation, journals, or longer documents.

Proposed feature

Add optional spell checking that underlines misspelled words as you type and provides correction suggestions. It should ideally suppport multiple languages and allow users to enable or disable the feature in Settings.

Example

While typing:

This enhancment would improove the writing experiance.

ZenNotes would underline the misspelled words and offer suggestions such as:

  • enhancement
  • improve
  • experience

Why this would help

Spell checking has become a standard feature in modern text editors and note-taking applications. It helps users catch typos while writing, improves the quality of notes, and reduces the need to copy text into another editor just to proof-read it.

Additional context

It would also be useful to allow users to add words to a personal dictionary. This would prevent project names, technical terms, abbreviations, names, and other domain-specific words from being repeatedly flagged as misspelled, making spell checking more practical for everyday use.
