# Feature Request ## Motivation Behind Feature The business I work at would like to have consistent spell checking features enabled for the application on both the desktop (web) version and the Cordova version of the same application that we roll out. Setting `spellcheck="true"` on inputs and textareas works fine on desktop, but on Cordova, enabling it doesn't change anything. Diving into the issue, I came to the conclusion that this seems to be a shortcoming in either Cordova or Android's WebView feature set (not sure which, but I gotta start somewhere). While the Android keyboard already makes suggestions on misspelled words on the spot, it does not underline misspelled words in the way that Chrome for Android would, for example. Having this available would provide a consistent experience whether our users are using the desktop or the mobile app. ## Feature Description As an example, I will post a screenshot of the text I've been typing in this very issue that demonstrates Chrome's spellcheck feature in action:  I envision this to be enabled through a preference in config.xml that allows enabling support for spellcheck in Android's WebView: ```xml <preference name="EnableSpellcheck" value="true" /> ``` ## Alternatives or Workarounds The current workaround is not really a workaround; rather, it is relying on the functionality that is already available through whatever keyboard the user has installed. This only provides limited functionality. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
