Solution 1: Set the Language of the Document Keep in mind that Google Docs only recognizes entries that are close to actual words but are misspelled, and the spell check will not work on a document that is filled with gobbledygook (a serious design flaw), and thus would not flag the entries as wrong or give an alternative suggestion. If you are using the mobile version of Google Docs, make sure it is updated to the latest build. Additionally, check if the keyboard shortcut of spell check, i.e., Ctrl + Alt + X or F7, is working.įurthermore, right-click on the misspelled word, and then in the options shown, try to enable the spell-check.

Moreover, make sure no accessibility features of Google Docs are enabled. If you are using a corporate/school managed system or device, contact the IT administrator of your organization to sort out the issue. Before moving on with the solutions to fix the spell check of Google Docs, restart your system/device and networking equipment to clear out any temporary glitch.
