Field notes
Spellense frames visual proofreading as an OCR problem rather than a text-field problem. Its listed workflow accepts common office, image, and document formats, extracts text while retaining page or slide coordinates, and presents errors for human review. The homepage also names two practical controls: separate US and UK English dictionaries, and the ability to whitelist brand names or technical jargon. Its privacy language—100% in-memory processing and zero file logging—is stated by the project rather than independently verified.
