How to Use the Gmail Spell Checker
Here’s how to access and use Gmail’s spell checker.
Open Gmail and select Compose to start a new message. Type out your message. Select More Options (three dots) from the bottom right. Select Check Spelling. Immediately, spelling mistakes will appear highlighted in red. If your web browser supports spell check, you might also see some other indication of a spelling error, like a red squiggly line. Select any misspelled word to get a list of suggested alternatives. Alternatively, you can choose to ignore the misspelling. Once you select a word from the list, Gmail automatically swaps it with your misspelled word. Select Recheck to check your work a second time. Or, if you want to search for misspellings in another language, open the drop-down menu and pick one from the list.
About Gmail’s Spell Checker
The spell checker is set to Auto by default, and it doesn’t remember previously set languages. For example, you might pick French for one email, then open another one and find it’s once again set to Auto. Also, keep in mind Gmail won’t simultaneously spellcheck more than one language. You will need to run a check for each language individually.
