spell-checkers
Digital proofreading tools
A spell-checker is a computer program that finds spelling errors in a text.
Spell-checkers work by comparing the words in the text to a large database of correctly spelled words.
Some spell-checkers also identify errors of grammar and usage.
People who are careless about the correctness of their writing may use spell-checkers to find and correct errors.
