WebSpellChecker is a spell and grammar check software for [1] businesses and individuals.

History

WebSpellChecker software is from SpellChecker.net, founded in 2000 in the US by Jeff Bianco. The first version of the software was a web-based spell and grammar checker, thesaurus for websites, intranets, CRMs, and CMSs. Starting from 2006, SpellChecker.net has been developing SpellCheckAsYouType (SCAYT) for close integrations with rich text editors(CKEditor, Froala, TinyMCE, Text.io). On June 7, 2016, the rights to the WebSpellChecker software were sold to a Ukrainian-based limited liability company, WebSpellChecker. In 2017-2018, the company released WProofreader add-on for rich text editors and plugin for CKEditor 5 and [2][3]WordPress. Starting from 2019, WebSpellChecker has been developing AI-driven proofreading engines for the WProofreader core. In 2021, WebSpellChecker released WProofreader extension for browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge).

WebSpellChecker proofreading engines are dictionary-based and deploy popular open-source libraries (Hunspell) combined with in-house optimizations and improvements. For grammar check, WebSpellChecker uses the rules-based approach (third-party open-source engines (LanguageTool) as well as in-house developments). Technically, [13]WebSpellChecker's approach to the Grammatical Error Correction (GEC) problem is a model based on Tensorflow 2 using a Transformer with Pre-trained encoder and AutoRegressive decoder as an architecture. The model uses synthetic data generated by different algorithms, collected data from WebSpellChecker cloud-based services, mixed and human-annotated data.

WebSpellChecker reports that the accuracy of [14][15]AI engines (the relevancy of suggestions offered by grammar checker) is higher than the accuracy of non-AI engines.
