Find spelling errors and typos
AI catches spelling mistakes and typos so your nonprofit communications are error-free and professional.
Find spelling errors and typos
River's Spelling and Typo Checker finds errors in your nonprofit writing. Upload your document and the AI highlights misspelled words, typos, and common mistakes. You get a clean, professional document ready to send to donors, funders, and stakeholders.
Unlike basic spell checkers, this tool catches context-specific errors and nonprofit-specific terms while understanding common organizational names and program language. The AI identifies genuine errors without flagging proper nouns or technical terms unnecessarily. One typo in a fundraising appeal can cost credibility. You get thorough proofreading focused on catching mistakes before publication.
This tool is perfect for anyone writing nonprofit materials before sending them out. Use it on every document before it reaches external audiences including appeals, grants, reports, emails, and website copy. It works best as a final check after content editing is complete. Professional, error-free writing builds donor confidence and organizational credibility.
Why Error-Free Writing Matters
Spelling errors and typos damage credibility instantly. Donors notice mistakes and question organizational competence. If you cannot proofread a letter carefully, can you manage their donation responsibly? Typos signal rushing, carelessness, or unprofessionalism. Even minor errors distract readers from your message. They stop thinking about your mission and start counting mistakes. Error-free writing shows attention to detail, respect for readers, and organizational quality.
Common nonprofit writing errors include: donor/donner, your/you're, its/it's, affect/effect, their/there/they're, nonprofit/non-profit (be consistent), board/bored, accept/except, principal/principle, and names of organizations or people misspelled. Spell checkers miss many contextual errors (your vs. you're are both spelled correctly but only one is right in context). Careful proofreading catches these. Always have someone else read important documents. We see what we meant to write, not what we actually wrote.
To ensure error-free writing, use spell check as first pass but not final word, read aloud to catch awkward phrasings and repeated words, print and read on paper (different format catches different errors), have colleague proofread important documents, read backward sentence by sentence to focus on spelling not meaning, and wait overnight before final proofreading if possible. Fresh eyes catch more. For critical documents like major grant proposals or campaign materials, professional proofreading is worth the investment. One error can cost funding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this catch every error?
AI spell checkers are highly accurate but not perfect. They catch most spelling errors and typos. However, they might miss contextual errors where the wrong word is spelled correctly (your vs. you're, accept vs. except). They might also miss organization-specific names or technical terms. Use this as one layer of proofreading, not the only one. Always have a human review important documents. Multiple proofreading passes catch more errors than any single method.
Will it flag organization names or program names as errors?
Possibly, if they are unusual spellings or the AI has not encountered them. The tool is designed to minimize false flags on proper nouns, but unique organization or program names might be marked. Review these flags and ignore them if they are correct. Add important names to your organization's style guide or dictionary so everyone spells them consistently. Consistency matters as much as correctness for organizational terms.
Should I trust this more than Word's spell check?
Use both. Word's spell check catches obvious errors. This tool provides an additional layer using different algorithms that might catch different errors. No single proofreading method catches everything. Multiple passes with different tools plus human review produces cleanest results. For critical documents, use this tool plus Word plus human proofreading by someone who did not write the original. Layered proofreading catches the most errors.
What about grammar errors beyond spelling?
This tool focuses specifically on spelling and typos. It does not check grammar, punctuation, or style comprehensively. For complete editing, use multiple focused tools: this one for spelling, passive voice checker for active voice, jargon tool for plain language, etc. Focused tools that do one thing well often outperform comprehensive tools that try to do everything. Stack tools for comprehensive editing of important documents.
Is this enough proofreading for major grants?
No. Major grant proposals deserve professional human proofreading after using automated tools. Use this tool to catch obvious errors first. Then have experienced grant writers or professional editors review. Grants are too important to rely solely on automated checking. One error in a million-dollar proposal is unacceptable. Layer automated tools with expert human review. The investment in professional proofreading pays for itself many times over if it helps secure funding.
