How Typo Works

1. Paste a website URL into the scan bar on the dashboard.
2. Typo discovers pages automatically via sitemap.xml. If no sitemap is found, it falls back to a discovery crawl.
3. Select individual pages from the folder tree, or hit Scan All to check everything.
4. Typo renders each page with a real browser (Playwright), then runs it through the spellcheck pipeline.

• Spelling errors — powered by LanguageTool, limited to typo and spelling categories only. Grammar, style, and punctuation rules are disabled.
• Proper nouns — city names, state names, geographic locations, and brand names are recognized using NLP and a geographic database so they aren't flagged as misspellings.
• Image alt text — alt attributes on images are extracted and spellchecked separately.
• Meta tags — Open Graph titles/descriptions and SEO meta descriptions are checked for spelling errors.

To reduce noise, Typo automatically filters out:

• Code blocks and inline code
• URLs, email addresses, and file paths
• HTML tags and markup-heavy segments
• CMS artifacts — WordPress shortcodes, Payload CMS markup, and plugin-generated content

• Results are organized page by page. Each page shows its finding count and word count.
• Summary cards at the top show total findings, pages with errors, and clean pages.
• Each finding has a category: spelling, proper_noun, meta_tag, or alt_text.
• Context highlighting shows the error in its surrounding text so you can quickly judge if it's a real issue.
• Findings that appear in repeated content (like headers and footers) are deduplicated and shown once with a “found on N pages” count.

When you re-scan the same site, Typo compares results against the previous scan and tags each finding:

• New — appeared since the last scan.
• Fixed — was present before but is now gone.
• Recurring — still present from the previous scan.

Set up recurring scans so sites are checked automatically without manual intervention.

• Creating a schedule — go to Schedules → New Schedule, enter a URL, verify pages are discoverable, then pick a frequency, day, and time.
• Frequency — choose Weekly (pick a day of the week) or Monthly (pick a day of the month).
• Time — times are displayed and configured in Eastern time (ET). They are converted to UTC behind the scenes.
• What happens each run — Typo re-discovers pages via sitemap, runs the full spellcheck pipeline, and diffs results against the previous scan so findings are tagged as new, fixed, or recurring.
• Run Now — trigger a scheduled scan on-demand at any time without affecting the next scheduled run.
• Pause & Resume — temporarily pause a schedule to stop automatic runs. Resume it when you're ready.
• Auto-pause — if a schedule fails 3 times in a row (e.g., the site is down), it is automatically paused to prevent repeated broken runs. You'll see a warning on the schedule detail page and can resume it manually.
• Editing — click into any schedule to change its frequency, day, or time. Past scan history is preserved.

Two ways to handle findings that aren't real errors:

• Dismiss — hides the finding for this scan only. It may reappear on the next scan.
• Add to Dictionary — permanently adds the word to your team's custom dictionary. It won't be flagged on any future scan.

• Share link — generates a read-only link that expires after 30 days. No login required for viewers.
• Export — download scan results as CSV or Excel for offline review or client handoff.

• Re-check a single page — on the page detail view, use the Re-check button to re-scan just that page without running the full scan again.
• Low content pages — pages with very little text are flagged with a “low content” badge. These may be image-heavy pages or redirects.
• Cross-page deduplication — identical errors found in shared content (headers, footers, navigation) are grouped and reported once to keep your report clean.
