GPT-Speller is a browser extension that helps you spell-check and grammar-check your text using the ChatGPT API. This extension is designed to work seamlessly in Chrome and Firefox, allowing users to easily verify and correct their text input on any webpage.
- Floating Button: Adds a floating "Check Grammar" button next to text fields with over a minimum number of characters.
- Settings Page: Provides a popup interface to configure the ChatGPT API key and the minimum text length required for the button to appear.
- Content Script: Uses a content script to inject functionality directly into web pages.
- Cross-Browser Compatibility: Works in both Chrome and Firefox, utilizing their respective storage and messaging APIs. Although it was tested only in Firefox.

The manifest.json
file defines the structure and permissions required by the extension. It includes settings for the background script, content scripts, and the browser action popup.
The content-script.js
file is injected into all web pages and handles the following tasks:
- Floating Button: Adds a floating button next to text fields that exceed the minimum text length.
- Visibility Check: Ensures the button is only displayed when the text field is visible.
- Button Actions: Triggers the grammar check using the ChatGPT API and displays the results in a floating div.
The background.js
file listens for messages from the content script and handles the API requests to the ChatGPT API. It retrieves the API key from storage and processes the text provided by the content script.
The popup.html
and popup.js
files provide a user interface for configuring the extension settings. Users can enter their API key and set the minimum text length required for the floating button to appear.
Settings are stored using the chrome.storage.sync
API for cross-device synchronization. This ensures that your settings are consistent across all instances of the browser where the extension is installed.
