A better writing workflow

Use a spell checker that reads words in context

A spell checker is most useful when it catches the mistakes your eyes skip: a doubled letter, a swapped vowel, or a real word in the wrong place. This Spell Checker reads your draft as a whole, then returns a corrected version with a short note on each change it suggests, so you can see what changed and why. It does not underline words as you type or rewrite your sentences for style. Paste an email, essay or report, review the suggestions in the output panel, and keep the ones that are right for your text.

01

How to check your spelling

Everything goes into one text box. If a word is meant to look unusual, such as a product name or a quoted typo, say so above the text so the review leaves it alone. Then read the result before you copy it anywhere.

  • Paste up to 50,000 characters, or import a TXT, DOC or DOCX file up to 10 MiB.
  • Add a line about US or UK spelling if it matters.
  • Run the check and read each suggested correction with its note.
  • Edit, copy or download the corrected text.
02

What it looks for

A word list only knows whether a string of letters exists. Reading the sentence around each word lets the review catch errors that a basic spell check accepts, because every word in them is technically spelled correctly.

  • Typos such as “recieve” and “definately”, plus doubled or dropped letters.
  • Sound-alike words: their and there, affect and effect, complement and compliment.
  • Mixed US and UK spellings in one document, like “color” next to “colour”.
  • The same name or term spelled two different ways.
03

Illustrative example

Input: “Their going to recieve the final draft untill Friday, and the reveiw will follow.” A typical result changes “Their” to “They’re”, “recieve” to “receive” and “reveiw” to “review”, and notes that “untill” should be “until”, adding that “by Friday” may be the phrase you meant. This is an illustration, not recorded output.

04

Who uses it

Anyone who sends text that readers will judge by its surface. A misspelled word in the first line of an application or a client email pulls attention away from what you are actually saying.

  • Students proofreading essays and lab reports before submission.
  • Job seekers checking a cover letter and résumé.
  • Professionals reviewing emails, proposals and reports.
  • Non-native writers who want a second look at tricky English spellings.
05

Spelling it can miss

An AI review is a strong second pair of eyes, not a final proofreader. Rare surnames, brand names, specialist terms and deliberate stylistic spellings can be flagged when they are correct, or passed over when they are wrong. There is no personal dictionary, so list unusual terms in your text when they matter, and check any change to a name against your source.

06

Tips for a cleaner check

A few habits make the result easier to review. Smaller sections are quicker to compare against the original, and clear instructions keep the review focused on spelling rather than on style or wording.

  • Check one section of a long document at a time.
  • Say which convention to follow: US, UK, Canadian or Australian.
  • Mention any words that should stay exactly as written.
  • Read the corrected text aloud once before you send it.

Spell Checker FAQ

How is this different from the spell check in my word processor?

A built-in checker compares each word with a dictionary and marks anything it does not recognize. This tool reads the full sentence, so it can point out a correctly spelled word that is the wrong word, such as “loose” for “lose”. It works on pasted text rather than inside your editor, and it does not mark words as you type.

Can it check British or American spelling?

Yes. Write a short note at the top, such as “Use UK spelling”, and the review follows it. Without a note, it usually keeps the convention most of your text already uses and points out words that break it. There is no separate setting for spelling variety.

Will it change names, brand names or technical terms?

It may suggest a change when an unusual word looks like a typo. Because there is no custom dictionary, the simplest approach is to list those terms before your text and ask for them to stay as written. Always compare suggested changes to names with the original source.

Does it also fix grammar and punctuation?

Its focus is spelling, and it may mention an obvious grammar slip it notices along the way. For a full pass on sentence structure, run the Grammar Checker; for commas, apostrophes and other marks, use the Punctuation Checker once your spelling is clean.

Will it rewrite my sentences?

No. The goal is to correct spelling while keeping your wording, tone and structure as they are. If a correction requires a nearby word to change, for example “a” becoming “an” before a corrected noun, the note explains why.

Can I spell check a long document?

You can paste up to 50,000 characters or import a TXT, DOC or DOCX file up to 10 MiB. For long reports or theses, checking one chapter at a time makes the suggestions easier to match against your original.

Does it work in languages other than English?

It can review spelling in the language you paste. The output language can stay the same as the input or be set to English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French or German. For a spelling check, keeping the output in the language of your draft is usually what you want.

Do I need an account to run a check?

Yes. Each check uses words from a paid plan allowance, so you sign in to run it. You can paste or import your text and add instructions before signing in.

Check your draft’s spelling

Paste one section, note your spelling convention, and review each suggested correction before you copy the result.
