In case you have doubts about what you have written and want to check that it is correct or not, this option is, without a doubt, the most appropriate. Next we will talk about all of them.įirst you can use the Check Spelling feature.
While you use your computer to write, there are a large number of options that you can carry out to check your spelling and above all, to improve it.
By default, the Mac checks your spelling automatically regardless of the language in which you are using your computer, however, if you want to add a new language you just have to follow the following steps. Change the languageĪ fundamental aspect when the Mac is able to really help you check your spelling and modify it when necessary is the language in which the Apple computer interprets what you are writing. To know if it is activated or not, you just have to look at whether or not there is a mark, when it is deactivated no mark is shown. To do this, all you have to do is open the app, select Edit, then Spelling and grammar, and click on “Correct spelling automatically”. Another option to achieve the same result is to hold down the Control key to display the original spelling and then select it.Īnother option that you have to take into account when checking your spelling or not is that this autocorrection method can be activated or not in certain applications, that is, if in an app you do not want it to control your spelling, you can disable it. The moment the Mac corrects a word automatically, it is underlined in blue for a moment, if you want to restore the correction, place the insertion point after the word in question to show its original spelling and then select it. The third option available is to undo the automatic corrections. However, we recommend that you make sure that that word is really well written so that you avoid, in this way, making a mistake in your spelling. Obviously, just as you can accept the suggestion, you can also ignore it, for this you just have to press the “Esc” key and continue typing. In case there is more than one correction suggestion, you will have to choose one. First of all, Accept suggestions, that is, if there is only one suggestion to correct the word that you have misspelled, you just have to keep writing and the Mac will automatically correct it. As soon as the computer detects the misspelling, you have the possibility of carrying out three different actions.
Once you have carried out these steps, each time you misspell a word, the Mac will underline that word and propose the solution or solutions. Check the “Automatically correct spelling” box.For this to happen, what you have to do is follow the following steps. You will be able to detect this correction since, when you type a word in the wrong way, it will be underlined in red to alert you. The use of autocorrection on the Mac implies that the computer is able to check each of the words you write and that, if it is written in a wrong way, it will notify you and propose the pertinent correction at all times. Finally, another of the settings that you can configure in this menu is the use of smart quotes and smart hyphens, so you can configure to your liking how you want your texts to be automatically entered.
The language in which you write is also important for the Mac to take into account, so you can also configure that the Apple computer is capable of understanding which language you are using, although we will talk a little more in detail later on. In addition, for those Macs that have a Touch Bar, you can configure writing suggestions to appear on the bar. Another action that you can configure is the automatic use of initial capital letters, as well as that, every time you press the space key twice, a period is entered and followed. First, you can configure your Mac to automatically correct your spelling, so every time you type a word wrong, your computer will take care of correcting it. If you go to the right side of the displayed menu, you can see that you have several interesting functions that will help you write better.
