Writing assistance

Spell check and autocorrect

Off by default. Spell check uses your browser or operating system and enhanced browser spell checking may use its provider's cloud service. Boca Chat autocorrect uses only a conservative dictionary bundled with the app; text and preferences never leave this device for correction.

Profanity filter

Enabled by default to mask common profane words in server text channels. Your preference syncs with your Boca Chat account, while filtering stays on each device; messages are not changed or sent anywhere for filtering, and direct messages are unaffected.
