How to manage words added to dictionary

[londonappdev]

I am using Brave (Version 1.15.76 Chromium: 86.0.4240.111 (Official Build) (x86_64) on macOS Catalina (10.15).

I accidentally added an incorrect spelled word to my dictionary and I’m unable to find how I can remove it.

I did see a couple of other similar posts, but they were automatically closed due to no response.

Does anyone know how I can manage my dictionary words in Brave?

Seems this is not possible within the UI. I found this GitHub post which explains how to do it manually: https://gist.github.com/mikegrima/ae56dc1ad09f8f90ae2b3d109a718ad9

@justsomeone1

brave://settings/editDictionary

Thanks for the response.

I tried that but it just takes me to the settings root. I also tried chrome://settings/editDictionary and it did the same thing.

go to brave://settings/languages then choose Customize spell check
or

• click the hamburger menu (three dots in the upper right)
• pick settings
• scroll to the bottom and click advanced
• scroll to the language section
• pick spell check, it should drop down more options
• pick custom spelling, your list of oops words should be here.
• click the x on the right of any word you want removed

but in this link it say the option is not

Thanks for your time… In my interface the Spellcheck setting is a toggle (not a dropdown)…

I must have a different version or OS?

Either way, I managed to remove the word manually by editing the text file.

Thank you!
