Is there any possibility that a general Autocorrect feature could be added to the existing Spell Checker?

I generally write in a stream of consciousness and don’t pay any attention to capitals or even spelling. If the first letter in a sentence and proper nouns could be capitalized, that alone would be massively helpful. But fixing general spelling errors - a la Word or SwiftKey - would take it to another level.

Here’s a list of open source Spell Check tools, some of which appear to include such a function.

NordSpell seems to be the standard one used by Openoffice, Firefox and more), but SymSpell sounds like an extremely impressive alternative.

I found this AutoHotkey script that seems to work so far (i->I is the only thing I tested). But a built-in, more sophisticated one, would be fantastic.

Please add this feature, this is very handy in defining shorthand for long words.

At the very least could we implement where Obsidian follows the system-level autocorrect engine, e.g. on macOS?

Here to show support for this feature request. I would love a much more intuitive auto corrector.

Joining the chorus. Would be very useful for real-time, rapid note-taking.

Yup, I would like to have this feature, too.
