spell checkers
Digital proofreading tools
Spell checkers are software tools that identify misspelled words in text and typically suggest corrections.
Built into word processors, email clients, and web browsers, they compare typed words against dictionaries and flag those that don't match.
Modern spell checkers often work alongside grammar checkers and may use context to distinguish between homophones like there and their.
The red squiggly underline has become their universal visual signature.
Also spelled as one word: spellcheckers.
