Check spelling as you write each character

Checking spelling as you write is the process of using the built-in spelling and syntax checker in Google Docs to ensure that each character and sentence structure is correct.

To use this feature, tap Tools. Then, Select Spelling & Grammar. Finally, tap Show spelling suggestions.

When you misspell, Google will automatically detect the error and give you suggestions as shown in the image below.

When spelling is correct but Google still reports an error

If you've spelled it correctly but Google Docs still reports a spelling error, this could be because:

- Word not in dictionary: Some new words or terms may not be in the Google Docs dictionary. In this case, you can add the word to your personal dictionary to avoid it being checked for spelling errors next time.

- Proper names and abbreviations: Google Docs may not recognize proper names or abbreviations correctly. You can also add these words to your personal dictionary to avoid errors.

- Different languages: Check that the language you're using in Google Docs matches the language of your document. Google Docs will check spelling based on the language you've selected.

- System error: A temporary system issue causes Google Docs to report a spelling error. If you believe this is the case, try refreshing the page or trying again after some time.

To fix this error, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Click on the word location where Google Docs reports an error. Next, click on the 3-dot icon right next to it.
