How To Use Acentua
Install the extension in Chrome, keep PT mode on when writing in Portuguese, then finish a word with Space, punctuation, Enter, or Tab. If the word is safe to correct, Acentua updates it immediately.
Use PT mode
Open the Acentua popup to turn PT mode on for Portuguese or off when you are writing in another language.
Type normally
Write Portuguese with your usual keyboard. For example, type
Eu tambem falo portugues and finish with a space.
Review ambiguous suggestions
Ambiguous words such as esta are not changed
automatically. Some words can show more than one option, such
as avo offering avó and
avô. Click the option you want, use the default
Ctrl+. for the first option, or dismiss with
Ctrl+,.
Customize when needed
Use the extension options to disable websites, add ignored words, add custom corrections, change suggestion shortcuts, or turn ambiguous suggestions on and off.
What It Does
Acentua 0.1.1 is intentionally conservative. It includes 4,056 safe local corrections and 132 ambiguous entries, correcting words that are highly likely to need an accent while avoiding automatic changes when context is required.
Packaged dictionaries run in the browser. No server is needed for the typing path.
Lowercase, title case, and uppercase words keep their original capitalization pattern.
Passwords, emails, URLs, payment-style fields, code areas, and unsupported editors are left alone.
Use the popup to pause Acentua globally when you are writing in another language, then turn it back on for Portuguese.
Ambiguous entries can show each valid accent option, so
avo can offer both avó and
avô.
Use the defaults Ctrl+. for first-option accept
and Ctrl+, for dismiss, or set alternatives such
as Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ in Options.
