Improve Your Business Communication with Free Tools in Windows 11

As a UK-based business, clear communication is essential—whether you’re sending emails, drafting reports, or preparing presentations. Typos and spelling mistakes can not only slow down your workflow but also create a less professional image when dealing with clients, partners, or stakeholders.

At Clyk, we’re committed to helping UK businesses streamline their processes, and one easy way to do this is by using the built-in tools that come with Windows 11. With just a few quick settings, you can say goodbye to spelling mistakes and hello to more polished, professional communication.

Why These Tools Matter

Even small errors can affect how your business is perceived, especially in high-stakes industries like tech or finance. Luckily, Windows 11 offers a range of features that help catch these errors and improve the overall clarity of your writing. Best of all, you don’t need any additional software—everything you need is already there.

How to Get Started

The spell check and autocorrect features in Windows 11 are easy to enable and will work across most of your applications. Here’s how to set them up:

  1. Go to Windows Settings.
  2. Select Time & Language, then click on Typing.
  3. Switch on options like ‘Autocorrect misspelled words’ and ‘Highlight misspelled words’.

These simple steps will help reduce mistakes, making your communications more accurate and professional.

Boost Productivity with Word Predictions

Need to move quickly through tasks? Text suggestions can make a real difference by predicting the words you’re about to type, speeding up the process of writing emails or reports. For busy professionals, this can save valuable time without sacrificing accuracy.

Multilingual Support for Global Communication

If your business communicates with international clients or partners, the ‘Multilingual text suggestions’ feature is a great tool. It suggests words in different languages based on your input, making it easier to maintain clear communication in multiple languages without switching tools.

Extra Tips for Specific Apps

Some applications, like Notepad and Outlook, require a bit more configuration. For Notepad, click the gear icon within the app to turn on the spell check feature. In Outlook, head to Editor Settings under the Options tab to enable tools like autocorrect, text predictions, and even tone adjustment. These are especially useful for client-facing communications, where precision and tone are key.

Setting Up Spell Check in Microsoft Edge

Many UK businesses use Microsoft Edge as their main browser. To make sure your team is covered while browsing or responding to web-based forms, head to Settings, click on Languages, and turn on both grammar and spell check.
