There is a GitHub issue tracking this feature request. Unfortunately, there is not much progress.

Automatic spell check, custom dictionary OR Integration into mac ecosystem

opened 04:12PM - 28 Jun 22 UTC

Having a spellchecker on hand is extremely useful. Currently I am using (https:/…/ankiweb.net/shared/info/1410276506) which works with the latest version ( ⁨2.1.54 (b6a7760c)⁩) Qt5 but not Qt6 (for the M1 macs). It would be great to simply have this addon built into anki so that Anki gets spell check support in all fields. Further, this addon can be configured to use any custom dictionary, for me I have a medical, english, and german dictionary plugged in and they work wonderfully. Please integrate spell check into anki. as an aside, it would also be helpful if anki was able to work with the basic mac system abilities such as look up (hard press) and dictionary/spell checker that is available on the mac itself.
