Enable Spell Checker on Android Phone

As it is obvious from its name, enabling the Spell Checker on your Android Phone or Tablet allows you to check spellings and this tool can be used with or without the Autocorrect feature which you must already be using on your Android Phone. In case you are wondering about the difference between the two tools, the Autocorrect feature corrects grossly incorrect words and automatically changes them into something that appears like a proper word. However, as you must have already experienced, corrections made by the Autocorrect feature are not always right and this feature can be annoying at times. In comparison, the Spell Checker does not automatically correct words as you type them, it only provides a list of suggested or possible words that you can choose from. This allows you to pick the right words or better words from the suggested list and improve the quality of your writing.
