Spell Check Now Covers 40 Languages

Check Spelling now works in 40 languages, so you can catch typos in a transcript no matter what language your recording is in.

What changed

Check Spelling used to be built around one language. Now it covers 40, including Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. The Dictionary keeps a separate word list for each language, so words you add while editing a French transcript do not show up as suggestions in a Dutch one.

The problem it removes

If you edit recordings in more than one language, a spell checker tied to a single language is more annoying than useful. It either stays silent on everything that is not that language, or it flags correct words as mistakes. That means extra manual proofreading on every project that is not in your main language.

How it works

ScriptCut works out the transcript's language from the transcript itself, so Check Spelling starts in the right language without you setting anything. Say you run an agency and one week you are cutting a Spanish ad and the next a German one: both get checked automatically, each against its own dictionary. If you need to check against a different language, the Language dropdown at the top of the Check Spelling window lets you pick one, and it remembers that choice for the project. Suggestions are ordered by context in every covered language except Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Swahili, so the word list is weighted toward what is common in spoken language and what fits the words around it.

A few languages are not covered yet: Japanese, Chinese, Finnish, Filipino, Malay, Thai and Urdu. A transcript in one of these is not checked, no red underlines appear, and ScriptCut tells you once, both when the transcript opens and inside the Check Spelling window.

Who this helps

Anyone cutting recordings that are not in English: agencies working across markets, podcast hosts with multilingual guests, documentary editors with international footage, or marketers localizing content. You get the same proofreading pass you are used to, in the language the recording was actually spoken in.

Check Spelling is still free, still runs in your browser, and does not use any AI credits.
