What Spelling does
The action uses the system spell checker, so the selected word and correction lookup stay on your Mac.
How to use it
- Select one misspelled word.
- Choose a suggested correction from ActionClip's leading spelling chip or open Spelling.
- ActionClip replaces editable text or shows the correction safely for read-only text.
Example

When ActionClip suggests it
The leading spelling suggestion appears for an editable selection of one word, 2–64 characters long, with letters and no spaces, when the macOS spell checker marks the whole word as misspelled.
Enabled actions remain available in your Actions list even when Smart Suggestions do not promote them for the current selection.
Requirements and privacy
- Works locally and does not require Online Actions.
- The selection must be one word containing letters, with apostrophes or hyphens allowed.
- ActionClip shows up to three suggestions.
Use a secondary language
Use secondary language is off by default. Turn it on in Spelling’s gear settings to enable the Secondary language selector. Words accepted by either selected dictionary are treated as correct. Misspelled words can offer up to three corrections. Both dictionaries use the macOS spell checker locally; no AI provider or Internet connection is needed.
