Description:
Microsoft has added a new integration for Microsoft Editor in Edge so users
no longer need to download a browser extension.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Embarrassing spelling and grammar mistakes will soon be a thing of the past
in Microsoft Edge as Microsoft is now rolling out a built-in grammar editor for its browser .

Microsoft Editor is the software giants Grammarly competitor and while its normally accessed via a browser extension, the company has now decided to directly integrate it into Edge.

Just like with other writing software , Microsoft Editor provides users with both grammar and punctuation corrections and suggestions as they write. In Edge, Editor will be available in over 20 languages but the writing tool will only provide feedback on the main language used in the browser.

In addition to its existing features, Microsoft has said that it will soon begin rolling out text predictions in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese in Editor in order to help users not only write better but also faster. Web Select

Besides its new Microsoft Editor integration, Microsoft is also bringing another new feature to Edge called web select though it was initially known
as smart copy when it was first announced two years ago.

Web select makes it easier to select formatted content like tables, images
and text on the web. The feature allows users to quickly select entire paragraphs in their original formatting or copy only the cells they want to
in a table. From here, you can then paste content with its original
formatting into a Word document or into OneNote to reference later. Read more

This Microsoft Edge update is a dream for all you clumsy typists

While web select will likely be a useful feature for Edge users, it has certainly taken quite a while to arrive in Microsofts browser. The company first began testing the feature all the way back in November of 2020.

Its worth noting that web select isnt the same as web capture which allows users to take screenshots of webpages and annotate them before sharing or saving them.

In order to try out Microsoft Editor and web select in Microsoft Edge, you first need to make sure you're running the latest version of Microsofts browser. To check if you are, you can click on the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the browser and choose Help & feedback and then About Microsoft Edge . Looking for alternatives?
