About Spellmatic
From the official readme · v1.3.9Description
Spellmatic scans your entire WordPress site for spelling and grammar errors, then lets you fix them in one click — including content built with Elementor, Avada, Divi, WPBakery, and more.

Privacy First
The free tier uses Harper WASM — a blazing-fast, privacy-respecting grammar engine that runs entirely in your browser (client-side WebAssembly). Zero external API calls. Zero data sent anywhere. Your content stays yours.
The optional BYOK AI layer uses your own API key. Your key is stored encrypted on your server and all API calls go directly from your server to your chosen AI provider — Spellmatic never sees your content or your key.
External Services
This plugin connects to the following third-party services. Full details are also available on the Open Source & Services page inside the plugin (Spellmatic → Open Source).
Grammar Engine — Harper (Bundled)
The Harper grammar engine (Apache 2.0 licensed) is bundled with the plugin and runs entirely in your browser. No external connections are made during scanning.
You may optionally update the grammar engine to get improved dictionaries and grammar rules. No external connections are made by the plugin for grammar engine updates — all updates are performed manually by the site administrator:
- Download the latest
harper.jsfrom the Harper npm package at https://www.npmjs.com/package/harper.js — the file is located in thedist/folder of the package. - Upload the file to
wp-content/uploads/spellmatic/harper.json your server (create thespellmaticfolder if it does not exist). - The plugin will automatically detect and use the uploaded file on the next page load.
- To revert, simply delete the file from
wp-content/uploads/spellmatic/— the plugin will fall back to the bundled version.
- Harper project: https://github.com/Automattic/harper
- Harper license: Apache License 2.0
- Harper website: https://writewithharper.com
AI-Powered Grammar Analysis (Optional, BYOK)
When you enable the BYOK AI feature and initiate an AI scan, post and page text is sent to your chosen AI provider for contextual grammar analysis. This only occurs when you explicitly click “Scan” with AI enabled. API keys are encrypted with AES-256-CBC and stored on your server.

Frequently asked questions
Does this work with Elementor?
Yes. Spellmatic reads Elementor’s JSON data structure and extracts all text from your widgets and sections.
Does it work with Avada / Fusion Builder?
Yes. Avada’s Fusion Builder shortcodes are parsed and all text content is scanned.
Will it send my content to an external server?
No — not by default. The Harper grammar engine runs as WebAssembly in your browser. No data leaves your site. The optional BYOK AI feature makes direct calls from your server to your chosen AI provider using your own API key. See the External Services section for full details.
What is BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)?
Instead of routing your content through our servers and charging you for AI usage, Spellmatic lets you paste in your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, xAI (Grok), or OpenRouter. You pay only for what you use — AI inference costs for grammar checking are fractions of a cent per post.
How does the free version differ from paid?
The free version includes full-site scanning with no error cap, individual fix/dismiss for every error, and AI-powered proofreading with OpenAI. Premium plans add bulk auto-fix, smart fix, additional AI providers (Claude, Gemini, Grok, OpenRouter), priority support, and multisite licensing.
Is bulk fix available in the free version?
Bulk auto-fix is a premium feature. The free version lets you fix errors one at a time with no limit.
What are scan credits?
The Site Scan ($19) and 3-Pack ($39) one-time plans include 1 and 3 scan credits respectively. Each full scan uses one credit. Credits don’t expire.
