spellchecking
Automated error finding
Spellchecking is the process of checking text for spelling errors, typically using software that compares words against a dictionary and flags or corrects mistakes: The document needs spellchecking before we send it.
As a verb form, it describes the action: I was spellchecking my essay when the power went out.
