Unpopular opinion: your typos are costing you deals and nobody tells you

by

Nobody will ever tell you "I didn't reply because you wrote 'definately'."

They just won't reply.

I've been on both sides. As a founder sending cold outreach, and as someone receiving it. And I can tell you: a typo in a first message is like showing up to a meeting with your shirt inside out. Nobody says anything, but everyone noticed.

The problem isn't that spellcheckers don't exist. It's that they don't exist where you need them.

Your browser catches typos in forms. Cool. But what about:

  • That Slack message to your investor

  • That tweet announcing your launch

  • That iMessage reply to a potential partner

  • That Notion doc your whole team reads

For all of these, you're flying blind.

We built Exact to fix this specific gap. One keyboard shortcut (⌃ + Space), works across every app on Mac and iOS. No copy-paste workflow, no separate tab, no friction.

But I'm genuinely curious about this community:

Do you proofread before sending? Every time? Or just when it "matters"?

And if you do — what's your current workflow? Because if it involves opening another app, I'd argue your flow is already broken.
