Artificial intelligence could soon be on hand to help you pen faultless text messages, by correcting the spelling and grammar of the message on the fly.

Google, via its Gboard virtual keyboard application, is poised to offer just that, according to a keen-eyed user at 9to5Google. The latter was able to test an option, dubbed "Proofread," available to certain users of the beta version of the app's next update. Gboard is Google's official virtual keyboard, offering a host of interesting tools, from voice and gesture input to automatic translation. In addition to these, "Proofread" reportedly allows users to check the spelling and grammar of a text, correct it, and even reword it if necessary, all powered by generative AI.
