components include: spell checker, grep, style search and replace, and more.

downloading program.

ProofRead will install a button in the Notepad's status bar, as well as being
visible in the Extras Drawer. Tapping on ProofRead's icon brings up a floating
view with the following:

  correct the current Note in the Notepad

Uncheck this to correct the current key view (where the caret is located).

  from the ProofRead text.
