Are you constantly frustrated by typos in your time entries and invoices? You’re not alone! Many law firms struggle with this issue, but the good news is that there’s an easy fix.
This tip actually comes from one of our clients who was tired of seeing mistakes in every invoice. She knew her team was doing a great job tracking their time, but they were moving so fast that accuracy was taking a hit. After bringing up the issue at the Clio Conference, she learned a game-changing trick—and I’ve got an extra tip to share as well!
Tip #1: Enable Spell Check in Your Browser
Most case management software, including Clio, doesn’t have a built-in spell checker. But your web browser does!
How to Turn on Spell Check in Google Chrome:
- Open Chrome Settings (click the three dots in the top right corner).
- Scroll down to Languages or search for “Spell Check” in the Settings menu.
- Toggle on Basic Spell Check (Avoid Enhanced Spell Check for confidentiality reasons).
- Return to Clio (or any software) and watch for the red squiggly lines that flag typos.
By ensuring your team has spell check enabled in their browsers, you can catch errors before they ever make it onto an invoice.
Tip #2: Use Clio’s Text Snippets
Clio offers a Text Snippets feature that allows you to create pre-set phrases that automatically expand when typed. Not only does this save time, but it also ensures key legal terms are always spelled correctly.
How to Use Text Snippets in Clio:
- Go to Settings > Text Snippets in Clio.
- Add commonly used phrases (e.g., typing “ach” automatically expands to “attend court hearing”).
- Keep snippets under 255 characters for best results.
By using text snippets, you’ll never have to worry about misspelling legal terms like “dissolution” or “summons” again!
Say Goodbye to Typos for Good
By combining browser spell check and Clio’s Text Snippets, you’ll drastically reduce typos in your time entries and invoices—saving you time and preventing embarrassing billing errors.
