Typo Spotter Guide
Flag double spaces, stray spaces around punctuation, repeated words and informal Indonesian short forms.
Typo Spotter scans text for a short list of patterns, not for correct grammar or spelling. It reports where a pattern starts by line and column. It does not edit your text automatically.
Spot a small mistake
Replace Text with Hello world. There are two spaces between the words. Under Findings, you should see Line 1, col 6: double space (2 spaces). Remove one space; the page should say No obvious typos found. With Flag informal Indonesian short forms checked, entering yg also gives a suggestion to use yang in formal writing; uncheck it to hide that suggestion.
A report is a prompt to review, not proof of an error: abbreviations, punctuation inside URLs, and intentional repeated words can trigger rules. Copy copies the findings, not the corrected text. Proofread the original yourself before publishing; avoid putting private drafts into public screenshots.

Questions you might have
- Is this checking grammar?
- No. It only matches patterns, so it will not tell you whether a sentence makes sense and it does not know the difference between your and you’re. It is a first pass for mechanical slips, not a replacement for reading the text.
- Why does it flag text that looks fine?
- Some rules are deliberately blunt. A missing-space rule will fire on e.g. and a repeated-word rule on a genuine repetition like had had, both of which are sometimes correct. Treat the list as suggestions and skim it.
- Does anything leave the page?
- No. The checking runs entirely in the browser, so drafts and internal notes can be pasted in without them being sent anywhere.
