Matt Barlow 1 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I downloaded the new Evernote for Mac and ever since the auto correct has stopped working. One of the main reasons I use and subscribe to Evernote is the amazing spell corrector which means I can just write and it sorts it for me. Ever since downloading the new version my page is full of red squiggles. HELP PLEASE!!! Link to comment

You can get these back by going 'legacy*', but they're -at least temporarily- unavailable in the new app. We don't yet know what's coming back, or in what timescale or order. Sorry. *See: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote Link to comment
Matt Barlow 1 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Amazin, you are a star. My sanity is restored. I've got so used to typing badly cos Evernote have such a good auto correct. How would I be able to keep track of when they bring the auto correct feature to the new version? 1 Link to comment

Evernote are notoriously bad at release notes - they tend to comment 'we fixed lots of bugs' rather than giving details; best way is probably to use v10 from time to time to see what changes. 1 Link to comment
Tom9417 4 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 This is a real problem for me as well. I've used EV for years and been more than happy with the Mac App and a Premium user - that is, until now and the recent major overhaul - autocorrect isn't working and it's driving me nuts .... this is a basic requirement for a smooth flowing / positive customer experience - why go to all that effort to upgrade the app and then undo it all by overlooking a basic user experience requirement. When will this be resolved as right now I don't want to look at alternative offerings but with time I may have no choice 1 Link to comment

Tom9417 4 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Yep - back there now and all is well ..... find hard EV overlooked this but there you go 🤷♂️ Link to comment
LinusLim 1 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yes..this is such a small but important feature for me too. I type sloppy when i am trying to get ideas in my head down. Stopping to correct each words is a speed bump in the whole process. I have reverted to legacy just for this. Link to comment
JP-Playa 0 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Eager to have autocorrect back over here too! Link to comment
LinusLim 1 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 So this is still not implemented in the new app? Am using Legacy because of this. Link to comment
ChrisMags 0 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Why in the world would they remove autocorrect?? I don't understand. And what is the legacy version and how do I get it? Link to comment

davidanasco 7 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Chiming in many years later, Why does Evernote Legacy have "Correct Spelling Automatically" but v. 10 does not? Please bring this to v. 10. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,117 Posted May 11, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted May 11, 2023 There is no „why“ beside the fact that v10 is 100% new code, no carry over from previous versions. What is not there was not coded. To get anything you may desire, contact support. No guarantees … Link to comment
