The system-wide spelling correction feature is realized with the regular autotext feature. The misspelled word is the autotext which triggers the text replacement with the correct spelling as the phrase.

Example:

A phrase with the contents "word" is triggered by entering the associated autotext "wrod". This means if you enter "wrod", PhraseExpress will replace this auto-correct the misspelled word with the phrase contents.

If you experience unwanted text replacements, you can easily identify and modify/delete unwanted items. Please find more information in chapter "Unwanted text replacements".

If using a SQL server, consider storing AutoCorrect in a separate, local phrase file for fastest text replacement.
