DataSpell 2023.1 Help

Spelling and Grammar Checks

Enable the Grazie plugin

This functionality relies on the Grazie plugin, which is bundled and enabled in DataSpell by default. If the relevant features aren't available, make sure that you didn't disable the plugin.

  1. Press Control+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Plugins.

  2. Open the Installed tab, find the Grazie plugin, and select the checkbox next to the plugin name.

DataSpell helps you check that all text written in natural languages is correct. This works similar to coding assistance, but instead of incorrect programming language syntax, the IDE detects and highlights typos, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, stylistic complexity, and so on. Besides common text files, such as your project's README.md, it can check text in your source files as well: names of classes, methods, fields, and variables, string literals, comments, and even your commit messages. For more information, see Scope of grammar checks.

By default, DataSpell includes English language support. If you open a file with several paragraphs of text in another supported language, DataSpell will detect it and show a suggestion to download and enable checks for this language. You can see the list of supported languages and enable them in the settings.

Add spelling and grammar checks for a language

  1. Press Control+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Editor | Natural Languages.

  2. Click the Add button in the list of languages and select your language.

DataSpell will download the language model and enable spelling and grammar checks for it.
