P: Spell checking is not available

[Richard van den Boogaard]

I believe PPro relies upon the spell checker that came with your OS. Please make sure it is installed.

how can I to resolve this question

[Jorge Vilmut]

I'm having the same issue with Adobe Premiere Pro 2022, how do I solve it?

[Kartika Rawat]

Hi there!

Sorry to hear that. Are you working with captions? If so, what language are you using?

You can also check this article for more information: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/spelling-find-replace.html

Let us know if this helps.

Same problem here. I am not working with captions, just a generic text. I am working with english version of Premiere, but in Portuguese OS. Maybe it is related to the fact I had to change the version using the following method?

Hi 
Same problem here. When I try to change the language of the spell checker, I can only chose German or French but no English even though I am running Premiere Pro in English. Odd.

Go to Edit- Speling, uncheck Check Spelling...done

Thank you everyone in advance

I'm just gonna go through the steps I take to lead into the problem I am experiencing, i.e. spell check not working. In fact, the spell check doesn't seem to work either with this Adobe Support Community post?

1. Open Premier Pro 2023 
2. Open media (Movie) and use the voice to text transcription tool
3. Get the transcript after about 10 minutes and hit the CC option.
4.  I have the check spelling option checked (menu under the 3 dots on the upper right of the captions window)
5. I begin the media and fix whatever the speech to text may have missed, any dialogue mistakes, breaks, cadence, etc.
6.  At no time during my review of the text/dialogue are misspelled words underlined/identified. (I intentionally misspelled words to test if the check spelling tool was working and it was not)
7.  I hit the Graphics tab since I watched a video and they showed that using the text in the Graphics tab can run the spell check, but it does not even have text in the tab.
8.  I save the SRT file, open it with Notepad, copy the text, create a Word document with the copied text and then run a spell check which is the only method I found to work considering, I'm guessing, a check spelling bug has an issue in Premiere Pro 2023. 
9. I called Adobe and they have not encountered this spelling error yet in PP 2023 and couldn't help me fix the issue.
10.  If I open the SRT file in the Subtitle Edit app, any word that is apparantly misspelled is underlined in red.
11.  Help!

Thank you again.

Don't think the spelling checker will work on non-existing words. They are just a bunch of letters.

This is apparently an issue in version 25.2, when operating under MacOS Sequoia 15. The speller on version 25.0 works fine, under the same OS version.

Hi Humberto,

I read your note, however, I'm not seeing the same issue. I hope someone else on the community can corroborate on your issue. I can also move your post into the bug reports forum. Would you like me to do that? Let me know.

Thanks,
Kevin

[Grapher21]

Thanks, Kevin.

That is strange. I had someone from Adobe yesterday troubleshooting the issue and the work-around was to downgrade to version 25.0.

I agree to moving this to the but report.

I will update to the latest version again tomorrow and see if it works.

Regards,

Humberto

[Kevin-Monahan]

OK, Humberto. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Kevin

The test failed. 

Again, under MacOS Sequoia 15.4.1, the spell checker function within Premiere Pro 25.2.3 has failed to detect spelling errors in all languages tested. This function works fine when downgrading to Premiere Pro 25.0.

Hopefully this will be addressed in the next update.

Spell Check has not worked for me for several weeks now.  I've checked as much as I can think of, down to making sure my OS spellcheck is correct.  Sometimes I feel I spend more time trying to fix PPro quirks and issues than I do using the program to do my work.

I'm using Pr version 25.2.3 (build 4)

Sequoia 15.4

I gave in an updated to Sequoia, hoping it would fix not only the spellchecker issue but others. It actually created more issues. 

[Grapher21]

I experienced the same issue. Ended up downgrading to 25.0 and hope the next release kills this bug.

[Grapher21]

I've just updated MacOS to 15.5 (24F74). Unfortunately the issue persists. No spelling errors are detected by Premiere Pro 25.2.3 (Build 4).

[fran galli]

stopped working for me too

[Grapher21]

Premiere Pro Version: 25.2.3

MacOS: Sequoia 15.5

Processor: M2 Pro

Bug: The spell checker does not capture incorrectly spelled words in any of the languages tested. The spell checker works fine in version 25.0.

[Grapher21]

Version 25.4.0 BETA (Build 48), published today does not eliminate this bug.

MacOS: Sequoia 15.5

Processor: M2 Pro

[onate_printers_9704]

It doesn't work for me either.
Version: 25.3.0
M1 Max
MacOS: Sequoia 15.5

Updating to Premier version 25 stopped the spell checker. It no longer flags misspelled words. I've changed languages, but nothing. It still doesn't work. It doesn't work in English or Spanish.
I reviewed similar issues on this forum in 2023, but it no longer applies to version 25.

[Grapher21]

I have just updated Premiere Pro to version 25.3.0 (Build 84). Unfortunately the issue persists. The spell checker detects no error in any of the languages tested.

[jeffreyl18121452]

Same here. Adobe are you watching this thread? Please escalate. This is not acceptable to break such an important feature and not resolve the issue after multiple builds. 

[Rach McIntire]

Hello everyone,
I'm sorry to hear that spell check hasn't been functioning for a few versions. To separate the old from the new, can you tell me if you are seeing the error message that it is not available, or if it just isn't detecting misspelled words?  I will look into this more, but the more information we have, the better, so please take a look at How to Report a Problem so we can dive in more.  Thanks for posting, and I hope we can help shortly.
