Proofreading: 02. Spell Check and Autocorrect

Technology allows us to quickly and easily check documents for errors, but it may not do enough. In this course, Spell Check and Autocorrect, we go over the pros and cons of these automatic checking tools and discuss why they need to be used in conjunction with human proofreading. We’ll talk about the best practices for electronic and human proofreading and give you some tips for ensuring your documents are free of grammar or spelling errors.

Part of the series called Proofreading, this course includes a video lesson, downloadable student materials and a short online quiz to check your comprehension.
