Level 5* gazumped 10,402 Posted September 14, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted September 14, 2020 I've never known this be available from within Evernote - I always use 'define<keyword>' or 'spell<keyword>' in Google. Link to comment

doulos 1 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 That's what I've always done. In the beta version I'm now using, it's not available. v 6.19.0 build 1643 beta Editor: v107.1.13786 Service: v1.19.6 © 2019 - 2020 Evernote Corporation. All rights reserved Link to comment

This works for me in the new beta desktop app. Link to comment

This macOS (mine is Big Sur version 11.1) functionality still doesn't work in the Evernote environment. What is a pity because it forces us to leave the application, enter another one (Dictionary), do the word search and return to Evernote... Will they ever solve this (big) issue?
