spell correction
Automatic text repair
Spell correction is the process of identifying and fixing misspelled words, whether done manually or by software.
Most word processors and phones offer automatic spell correction, sometimes creating unintended substitutions: Autocorrect changed "ducking" to something I didn't mean.
Also called spellcheck or autocorrect depending on whether the fix is suggested or applied automatically.
