    Open the Typosaur page. Go to https://typosaur.us/ in your computer's web browser.
    • Typosaur is ideal for determining which words are misspelled and finding replacements for them. If you want to see the physical location of the misspelled words on the web page, use the Online Spell Checker instead.
