Spell check makes it easy to spot and fix typos directly in your proof, helping you maintain quality and brand standards without switching tools.
When activated, spell check scans visible text on the proof and highlights any words it thinks may be misspelled. You can review suggestions, choose corrections, add words to your personal dictionary, or ignore them for the current proof.
To note:
The spell check analyzes text that the text highlighter pen sees. Please always review the proof thoroughly as some text may be text images that cannot be seen by the text highlighter pen.
You can set your spell check dictionary (US or UK English) under your profile.
Custom words to ignore, for example a brand name e.g., PageProof, can be added to each dictionary.
