I got that 'je' as personal pronoun object can be either 'it' or 'them'. Same for 'ně' if used after the preposition. Out of context is there a way to determine if the object is either singular or plural?
Je ("them") is the accusative plural case form of oni/ony/ona ("they"). It is the direct object of the verb in this sentence. You might want to have a look at the following site, which is packed with useful information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_declension#Personal_pronouns.

Do you really have to spell it? In my browser (chrome) and my phone app (android) I don't have to spell "š" and just write Frantisek and the system is ok with it. Goes the same for other letters and for other languages (like o/ö in German). I never had an answer rejected for these reasons, so it's interesting you say they insist.
EDIT: I realized that my experience with Android has to be from other languages, since Czech is not on mobile yet...
