Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports spell checking in presentations, including Change, Change All, Ignore, Ignore All, Add to Dictionary, Delete, spell-check options, and custom dictionary management. | PowerPoint can automatically mark spelling issues and lets users run Review > Spelling to check and fix errors across a presentation. | Google Docs supports spelling and grammar review, including Change, Ignore, Change all, Ignore all, and a personal dictionary, but the official help content is centered on document editing rather than presentations. | Notion desktop includes built-in spell check that can be enabled or disabled, while the web version relies on the browser spell checker and offers fewer review controls. | Acrobat help content is mainly focused on PDF viewing and editing workflows, and its public help pages do not present a direct presentation-style spell check workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines step-by-step correction, batch ignore actions, custom dictionary support, and review options in a presentation review workflow. | Compared with WPS: It also supports presentation spell checking, but the official guidance emphasizes automatic marking and the review pane workflow. | Compared with WPS: Its dictionary controls are clear, but the official guidance is focused on Docs rather than slide review. | Compared with WPS: It is more oriented toward page writing, and presentation proofreading is not a primary workflow. | Compared with WPS: It is more focused on PDF tasks and does not provide a directly comparable presentation spell check help flow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Spell Check is well suited to presentation proofreading on macOS, especially when you want to review slide text in one pass and keep recurring terms in a custom dictionary.
