Flagging words in a document that may not be spelled correctly.
In computing, a spell checker (or spell check) is an application program that flags words in a document that may not be spelled correctly. Spell checkers may be stand-alone, capable of operating on a block of text, or as part of a larger application like the following:
- Word processors (e.g. MS Word's spell checker)
- Email clients
- Electronic dictionaries
- Search engines (e.g. Google Chrome's spell-check)
