<p>The <ahref="https://www.onlyoffice.com/en/document-editor.aspx"target="_blank"onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)"><b>Document Editor</b></a> allows you to check the spelling of your text in a certain language and correct mistakes while editing. In the <em>desktop version</em>, it's also possible to add words into a custom dictionary which is common for all three editors.</p>
<pclass="note">Starting from <b>version 6.3</b>, the ONLYOFFICE editors support the <b>SharedWorker</b> interface for smoother operation without significant memory consumption. If your browser does not support SharedWorker then just <b>Worker</b> will be active. For more information about SharedWorker please refer to <ahref="https://javascript.plainenglish.io/introduction-to-shared-workers-533d9abe9de3">this article</a>.</p>
