CKEditor 4 SpellCheckAsYouType (SCAYT)

1,066 sites Security covered Drupal 9–11
View on drupal.org

This module integrates the SpellCheckAsYouType (SCAYT) service into CKEditor for spell and grammar checking. SCAYT is an online service, and while the basic functionality is ad-supported, a license can be purchased to remove ads. Support for CKEditor 4 is ending, and the project is transitioning to CKEditor 5.

CKEditor 5 support

Note, in CKEditor 5 spelling, grammar, and punctuation checking is a premium (paid) feature.

CKEditor spell checker integration with SpellCheckAsYouType (SCAYT) CKEditor addon.
SCAYT is "installation-less", using the web services of WebSpellChecker.net.

Separate library installation no longer required as of version 1.2.

Note: The out-of-the-box spell checking functionality is ad-supported. If you want to remove the ads, you can purchase a license.

Branches

  • 1.x: CKEditor 4 for core 9.4.4 and earlier
  • 4.x: CKEditor 4 for core 9.4.4+/10+

Maintenance

CKEditor 4 is reaching its end-of-life in 2023! CKSource (the maintainer of CKEditor 4) is ending security coverage at the end of 2023, after more than a decade.

To ease the transition to CKEditor 5 (in Drupal 9.5 and Drupal 10.0), it is possible to use the 1.0.x branch of this project until contributed and custom modules are ready. Once Drupal 9 is end-of-life or once CKEditor 4 no longer receives security updates (whichever is earlier), the Drupal core maintainers will no longer provide security coverage for the 1.0.x branch of this module. This project will be marked unsupported at that time.
