Native Spell Check for After Effects

I feel like I might be screaming at a brick wall here, but for the love, spell check for After Effects PLEASE. Yay that it finally, sort of, came to Premiere, but for those of us who animate text for a living, having to type everything out into a word processor then copy and paste into AE is an insane workflow for the year 2023. 

There are scripts that sort of do the trick, but they aren't live in any composition or you have to actively monitor every time you type something to see if it is incorrect (I'm talking about displaying the little red line underneath something that is incorrect). Even something like the InDesign spell check would be nice.

Absolutely still need this. We need a word-processor type spell check that displays in the program monitor, or an integration with grammerly.

I agree with Alexander, I also need this feature badly!

WE ABSOLUTELY NEED SPELL CHECK FOR AFTER-EFFECTS. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS NOT PART OF THIS PROGRAM YET.
