How to Disable the Spell-Check on Mac

The new OS X operating systems of the Macbook, as you noticed, they have the spell-check, which can be handy for some but extremely uncomfortable and annoying to others.

I’m with the second group of people, when I upgraded my old MacBook to the new Mavericks operating system, one of the first things, I did was just to disable the spell-check. Let’s see how to do it.

1.) First of all, what is the spell-check? It is an option that is located in the new Apple operating system that is able to correct misspelled words similar to words in the spelling dictionary. I’ll definitely have heard since smartphones (Apple, Android, Windows, …) already have this system and, even there, when you purchase it is already set, but you can disable it. What are you waiting? Go ahead and read it now!

2.) Do not worry because it is an incredibly easy. In addition, if and when you change your mind, you can re-enable this option. Open the application ” system preferences ” with which you can change all the settings that you want (we recommend you take a look at the various categories that are inside, so you can customize your computer: Do not be afraid!).

3.) Where can you find the system preferences? You can access them in various ways. Look in the dock that is at the bottom, in the desk, if you see a gray icon with the wheels go easy on it with the pointer, and you’ll see that you will see ” System Preferences. ” Alternatively, click on ” Applications ” (you can always find it in the dock or in the ” Finder “, which is the icon with the smiley face) and, inside, look for the application of the system that you need ..

4.) Now click on ” Keyboard “, where, as you can see, there will be all of the options on the Keyboard of your Mac Click on the second tab, the one called ” Text “. You will immediately see a checked box next to the word ” Correct spelling automatically. ” You simply have to uncheck the box.

5.) Once this is done close the window by clicking on the red dot (you’ll see that when you walk on it with the mouse pointer will appear a cross). That’s it, now the spell-check will not give you more problems. If you change your mind, repeat the same steps that you have just explained and check the box ” Correct spelling automatically. “
