# 9.5. Spell-checking

Spell-checker languages - TEA uses Aspell for the spell-checking. At this menu you can find the list of dictionaries which installed for aspell (from the distro or so). To spell check, use one of those menu items. It works with the whole text, not with the selection only.

The menu item with the language name is used also to set the default spell-checker language. Default value is "en". To do a simple check with that default language, use Spell check menu item.

Suggest a word - shows the list with suggestions for the current misspelled word (the word under cursor). To use this function, use Spell check first.

Possibly incorrect words will be colored with the color you can define in Preferences > Colors.

TEA can just show you errors. You must fix them for yourself, by the hand. When you fix the error you can see that the fixed word is colored as before. That is because the nature of TEA spellchecker - it updates manually, so to update highlighting select the same spell checking a menu item again. To turn error marks off, use View > Hide error marks.

Add to dictionary - add the underlined as incorrect word to the user's local dictionary.
