 Spell checking in CKEditor comes in two flavors. First solution is the [[CKEditor 3.x/Users Guide/Spell Checking#Spell Check As You Type|Spell Check As You Type]] (SCAYT) option that checks the spelling of the text in the editing area immediately as you type it and marks all errors with a red wavy line. The second one lets you open the [[CKEditor 3.x/Users Guide/Spell Checking#Spellchecker|Spell Check]] dialog window and check the spelling of the document word by word. Additionally, for some languages a [[CKEditor 3.x/Users Guide/Spell Checking#Thesaurus|Thesaurus]] feature is also available.
