| Capability Summary | In WPS Docs, you can open Spell Check from the Review tab, mark errors automatically, and recheck ignored words. | Word can run spelling and grammar review from Review > Spelling & Grammar, and it can also recheck previously ignored content. | Google Docs can check spelling and grammar, then let users accept or ignore suggestions. | Notion desktop includes built-in spell check, while the web version relies on the browser spell checker. | Acrobat can run spell check for comments and form fields and lets users manage accepted words in a custom dictionary. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry point stays inside the document review workflow, so users can check, correct, and recheck words in one writing interface. | Compared with WPS: Word also includes grammar checking, so its proofreading scope is broader. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs covers both spelling and grammar suggestions, but it is centered on an online document environment. | Compared with WPS: Notion web depends on browser settings, while desktop has its own built-in spell check switch. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat spell check is mainly for comments and fields rather than the main body writing workflow. |
