spell checker
(redirected from Spell-check)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

A separate program or word processing function that tests for correctly spelled words. It can test the spelling of a marked block, an entire document or group of documents. Advanced systems check for spelling as the user types and can correct common typos and misspellings on the fly.

Spell checkers simply compare words to a dictionary of words, and the wrong use of a correctly spelled word cannot be detected. See grammar checker.
