Zendesk spellcheck



Posted Jan 04, 2021

Would be great for Zendesk to integrate spell check. Having to re-read to ensure no spelling errors or typos takes a bit of extra time. From other user's feedback, the apps available don't work well with Zendesk.

Hello all! Thanks for engaging on this thread so far. At Zendesk, we are continuously striving to enhance our platform and provide you with the tools you need to succeed. We have received requests for a native spell checker and grammar checker, and we would love to gather your feedback to better understand your needs.

To help us prioritize & build this feature, we would appreciate it if you could take a moment to answer a few quick questions:

  1. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being a blocker to your workflows, how would you rate the priority of having a native spell checker and grammar checker?
  2. How often do you think you would use this feature in your daily tasks? (e.g., daily, weekly, occasionally)
  3. Would you prefer real-time detection of errors with suggestions for corrections, or would you rather have a button that allows you to batch correct your spelling and grammar at once?

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us and will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our platform. Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing from you!

What browser are you using?

The native spellcheck in chrome should work but it will not work for others like firefox.

We use Grammarly, it's brilliant!

We are using Safari - that is good know, we will try using chrome!

There were mixed reviews for Grammarly so we haven't tried it yet. Thanks for your feedback :)

We are a big company that has specific rules in downloading 3rd party apps.

We also use different browsers where the behavior can differ

It would be preferable if Zendesk had a native spellcheck - upvoted!

We use Grammarly and it is great, but would really be useful to have something within ZenDesk that won't send until errors are corrected or accepted.

 Adoraria que o Zendesk tivesse o seu próprio corretor autográfico, ajudaria bastante nossa empresa. 

 O trabalho de configurar máquina por máquina com o time de suporte para instalação de aplicativos terceiros (por questões de segurança) afeta demais a disponibilidade dos agentes e controle da necessidade em cada uma destas máquinas. 

 Votado!!

Wow - thought something like this would be standard in an app as developed (and expensive!) as Zendesk. When it is added, it could be something we toggle in Admin to either:

  • Turn Spellcheck Off Globally
  • Turn Spellcheck On Within Tickets Only
  • Prohibit Tickets from Submitting until Spellcheck Issues Resolved

Hopefully we can get this on the roadmap pretty soon as using more third-party apps for functionality that could be native in Zendesk doesn't feel so great, imho.

Thanks.

When can we expect a spell checker built into the Zendesk Guide? We have to write, then copy/paste to other product, for spelling/grammer check (production time is lost) and sometimes miss errors, which is embarrassing.

Realmente Zendesk, já esta na hora de algo nativo e seguro para os clientes.

Running on Chrome and Zendesk is just bonkers for not having proper spellcheck system. The detection rate is just so bad that it stresses me out the little things. Not sure about other browsers though. Leaving this comment here so when someone searches "zendesk spell check" sees this and still doesn't work properly. 🤡

Some extensions don't work as well like I am using "Change Case" for Chrome and it doesn't change the cases when highlighted.

A native solution by Zendesk would be great, taken that extensions like Grammarly affect ticket view behaviour even in Chrome

+1. Would be great to have this natively in Zendesk.

Upvoting as well! We are new to Zendesk and this is a feature that we were really hoping was already a feature!

Hello, I am wondering if there has been any recent development on this issue. Is a native spellcheck for Zendesk available yet? Thank you!

Hello all,
 
We currently do not have a native spellcheck but are actively working on prioritizing it on our roadmap. We will be sure to get back once we have a timeline for delivery. Thanks for your patience and engagement on this thread.

+1 to this. 

It is getting harder to approve third party add on's for Zendesk for security reasons. So it would be wonderful if basic spelling & grammar could be native.

Hi Amisha Sharma ,

 

Good Zendesk is following up on this.

To answer your questions:

  1. It will be a 4. It's not a workflow blocker, as it's possible to send messages with bad grammar. But, we have agents that write in several non-native languages, which they write 80% fluent. We need the spell checker for the additional 20%.
  2. Daily, even every second, as every second messages are sent out.
  3. Real-time detection, so agents immediately see the errors and even learn from it.
