How do you handle text correction without breaking your workflow?

by

I've been thinking about something that probably affects most of us daily. You're writing an email, a Slack message, a tweet — and you notice a typo or a sentence that doesn't sound right.

What do you do? Most people either copy the text into a separate tool, wait for the correction, then paste it back. Or they just ignore it and send the message as is.

Both options feel broken. One kills your flow, the other kills your credibility.

I'm curious about how the PH community deals with this:

  • Do you use a browser extension? A standalone app? The built-in spellchecker?

  • Does your current solution work across all your apps or just some?

  • Have you found anything that actually corrects text without making you leave what you're doing?

We've been working on this exact problem with a small team — building a Mac tool called Exact that lets you correct and rephrase text with a single keyboard shortcut, right where you type. But before talking about solutions, I'd love to hear how others experience the problem.

What's your current setup? And what frustrates you most about it?
