ProWritingAid’s spell checker is a part of an even greater tool—an AI-powered grammar checker, style editor, and writing mentor. You’ll get suggestions for improvements far beyond just spelling.
Let Your Writing Shine
Grammar rules are important to remember, but let’s face it, there are a lot of them. ProWritingAid has an arsenal of pre-programmed grammar rules so you don’t have to rely on your memory. As you check your spelling, you’ll see possible punctuation mishaps, subject–verb agreement issues, and other grammar errors.
Improve Your Writing’s Clarity and Readability
Checking that your words are spelled correctly is just one part of good writing. You’ll also want to ensure that your writing is easy to read. The spell checker’s built-in readability report will zone in on areas where your language is a little too complicated.
Make Your Own Rules
There are times when the spell checker may flag a word as misspelled when it’s actually not, such as a newly created character name. With ProWritingAid, you can create your own dictionaries where you can add specific words and jargon. You can also create snippets and style guides that fit your writing needs.
Who Can Benefit from an Online Spell Checker?

Students
Misspelled words distract from the essence of your essay. They also make your work appear lazy. Improve your grade and show your professors you’re serious about your education.
Business Writers
Imagine a client pointing out a typo in your proposal. Doesn’t seem very professional, does it? Inspire confidence by ensuring all your business communications are error-free.
