The current state of development of spell-checking services on the example of extensions for the Google Chrome browser is considered. Current versions of extensions have been determined to be larger, with no direct relationship between the size of the extension and the number of languages that the extension supports. Functioning advanced intelligent services that have different end interfaces to meet the needs not only of ordinary users, but also other services and automated systems Grammarly and languagetool are analyzed. It is determined that the Grammarly service automatically determines the language of the text to check and access to direct settings to determine the supported languages is missing; and work with the service is possible only with the authorization on the site (even if use a desktop application). LanguageTool offers a large number of applications: online text editor, desktop applications for various operating systems, extensions for popular browsers and text editors. You need to install Java for the LanguageTool desktop application to work, and you need to follow the application updates yourself. It is recommended to consistently use text editor validation tools and then check in an offline application such as languagetool.
