While working with Photoshop whenever we type some text on the document, Photoshop provides a tool to correct spelling mistakes. This tool is found in the Edit Menu of  Photoshop and referred as Check Spelling.

How to correct spelling mistakes in Photoshop using the command Check Spelling?

In order to understand the correct use of the tool referred as Check Spelling, follow the instructions given below:

Create a new Photoshop document with RGB Color Mode and White Content specified.

 Then select the Text Tool or Type Tool either by clicking on it in the Tool Box or by hitting T on the keyboard. 

Select Text Tool to type some text on the document

As soon as you will do so, pointer of your mouse will assume the shape of letter T encircled by a dotted rectangular shape. Further, setting options for the selected tool including Font Family, Font Style, Font Size, Color and Alignment etc  will be appeared in the option bar. Though using these options, you can render different styles to typed text but as our current topic is not concerning different styles of text  so you can leave all these options set to default according to the picture below.

Then put the pointer on the left side of the canvas and hit the left button of your mouse once. As soon as you will do so, a new layer will be added in the document and a thumbnail representing that newly added layer will be  appeared in the layer palette with a prominent letter T clearly visible on it, and at the same time, cursor will start to blink on the canvas.

Then type some text there and make some spelling mistakes deliberately. For instance the sentences given below.

Sara is viry happy today.

Sadaf was working viry hard.

People of Englond speak English.

Sadaf  looves apples.

Mother is going to Markit.

Mary plays with dooll.

This pictare is viry viry nice.

Typed text on the document

After that, get inside the Edit Menu and select the option named Check Spelling.

Option referred as Check Spelling given inside the Edit Menu

 As soon as you will select that option, a dialogue box named Check Spelling will be appeared and the first word with wrong spelling typed on the Photoshop document will be highlighted all by itself according to the picture below.

Suggestion Pan in the dialogue box named Check Spelling contains various alternates of the selected word

 In the newly appeared dialogue box named Check Spelling you can find different suggestions to correct the spelling of the highlighted word. Select the word with correct spelling out of the different choices given in the Suggestion Pan and hit the button named Change given in the same dialogue box right beside the Suggestion Pan. As soon as you will hit the button named Change, the selected word will be replaced by the word with wrong spelling and the next word with wrong spelling will be highlighted all by itself according to the picture below.

Spelling of different words are being corrected

Then again select the word with correct spelling from the Suggestion Pan and hit the button named Change. In case, you  don't want to make correction in the spelling of any highlighted word e.g.some non-English proper name (Sadaf in this example), the button named Ignore is supposed to be clicked instead of Change. Further in the same dialogue box there can be seen two more buttons referred as Ignore All and Change All. If you have typed a word completely anonymous for English language (Sadaf in this example) two or more than two times on the Photoshop document and you don’t want Photoshop to suggest alternatives for that word again and again, you should hit the button named Ignore All instead of Ignore to tell Photoshop that you are completely satisfied with the spelling of that word and you don’t want of make any change in the spelling of it. On the other hand, if you have typed a word many times on the same document and you have made the same spelling mistake every time (Viry in this example), you can make all the corrections within an instant by selecting the alternate for that word  out of the words suggested by Photoshop in the Suggestion Pan and hitting the button named Change All instead of Change. Further in the same dialogue box you can see another button named Add . You can use this button to add any word in the dictionary for your personal use. Whenever you add any word in the dictionary, Photoshop stops highlighting it as a mistake afterward. For instance in the above example you can add the the word Sadaf  in the dictionary and Photoshop will stop highlighting it as a word with spelling mistake.
That is how you can make correction in the spellings of different words typed on Photoshop document without wasting much time and prepare a document with no spelling mistake.
