Alexander Gladilin, Senior Digital Designer at Sliday, works on product interfaces where precision goes beyond layout and visuals. In real product design, text is part of the experience—and even the smallest mistake can affect how the product is perceived.
Before using SpellCheck, text quality was one of those issues that never fully disappeared. Copy lived across dozens of frames and flows, often updated until the last moment. Figma’s native spellcheck helped only while editing individual text layers, which made it easy to miss errors at scale. There was no simple way to review everything at once. As a result, the process relied on manual checks. Screens were reviewed one by one, important flows were double-checked before handoff, and still, small mistakes occasionally slipped through.
Everything can look perfect visually, and then one small typo ruins the impression completely.
This created constant friction — slower reviews, extra communication with developers, and a lingering uncertainty before delivery.
SpellCheck fit directly into Alexander’s existing workflow without adding complexity. Instead of manually scanning files, he could run a check across a full page or the entire project and immediately see all text issues in one place. Corrections could be made instantly, without leaving Figma or breaking focus. What used to be a repetitive, attention-heavy task became a quick, reliable step.
It feels like a final QA step, but for text — and it takes seconds.
Over time, this shifted how he approached design. Text validation stopped being something to remember later. It became automatic.

The impact was immediate and practical. Designs reached developers without hidden text errors, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth. Reviews became smoother, with feedback focused on product decisions rather than minor fixes. Even large, multi-screen files stayed consistent without extra effort. Most importantly, the mental overhead disappeared.
Now I don’t worry about text errors. I know they won’t slip through.
For Alexander, SpellCheck solves a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
If you’re designing real products in Figma — not just visuals, but actual interfaces with content — you end up relying on it very quickly. It just removes a whole class of problems.
SpellCheck doesn’t change how designers work. It simply removes one of the most persistent sources of friction—so attention can stay where it belongs: on the product itself.
