Enhanced Spell Check
Intro
Rumi has a built-in real-time spell check feature that automatically identifies spelling and grammar errors as students write, helping them catch mistakes in real time without leaving the editor. This feature is only available for enterprise users.
Note: Enhanced Spell Check is a writing support tool—it identifies errors and suggests corrections, but does not rewrite or paraphrase text. For AI-powered editing features like paraphrasing or translation, see Translation Guide.
What Enhanced Spell Check Does
- Catches spelling errors — Misspelled words are underlined as you type, with suggested corrections available on click.
- Identifies grammar issues — Common grammar mistakes such as incorrect capitalization, incorrect verb forms, and punctuation errors are flagged.
- Automatically detects language — No need to manually select a language. Enhanced Spell Check identifies the language being used and applies the appropriate spelling and grammar rules automatically.
- Supports 30+ languages — Works with English (US, UK, Australian, Canadian), Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Arabic, and many more.
- Works in any document — Available across all assignments, independent of AI Policy settings.
How It Works
As students type, Enhanced Spell Check runs automatically in the background. Errors appear underlined in the editor. To correct an error:
- Click on the underlined word or phrase.
- Review the suggested corrections.
- Click a suggestion to apply it, or dismiss if no change is needed.
- You may also add misspelled word to your personal dictionary.
Students remain in control—corrections are never applied automatically.
What Enhanced Spell Check Does NOT Do
Enhanced Spell Check is designed to catch errors, not rewrite content. It will not:
- Paraphrase or reword sentences — Use AI Prompts for rephrasing tasks. See Guided AI Guide for paraphrasing tools you can enable for students.
- Translate text — See the Rumi Translation Guide for translation features.
- Provide style suggestions — Advanced stylistic feedback (e.g., tone, formality, conciseness) requires AI-powered prompts.
- Generate new content — Spell check only reviews existing text.
This distinction ensures that spell check supports student writing without doing the writing for them.

Common Questions

- Can instructors disable spell check? Enhanced Spell Check is currently enabled by default for all documents and cannot be disabled per assignment.
