spellchecker
Digital proofreading tool
A spellchecker is software that identifies misspelled words in a document, typically by comparing each word against a dictionary and flagging or auto-correcting those it doesn't recognize.
Most word processors and browsers have built-in spellcheckers: The spellchecker caught my typo but missed the wrong word entirely.
Also spelled as two words.
