AutoSpell

Your Spell-Right Dictionary can automatically replace a misspelled word
with a correctly spelled alternative. AutoSpell will suggest alternatives
when character transpositions, omitted characters, extra characters,
incorrect characters, and phonetic substitutions are found. You select the
correct word, and it replaces the error in your text.
AutoSpell also learns and remembers your mistakes. Your typewriter
quickly “learns” the types of mistakes you most often make and
promptly offers alternatives. For example, if you often transpose
characters (you type: teh), the correct word (the) is usually
displayed first.
When using AutoSpell, your typewriter inserts corrections in Mem Mode
by erasing the original word and inserting the change. If the new word is
two or more characters longer than the original word, your typewriter
automatically realigns the line. In Type Mode, if the correction is two or
more characters longer than the original word, the typewriter erases the
text back to the replacement, inserts the replacement, and reprints the
rest of the line. The display prompts:
Auto Realignment
In Type Mode, only the incorrect characters are corrected and/or replaced.
If you backspace to a prior word, activate AutoSpell and replace it with a
word that is one character more or any number of characters less than
the original word, the typewriter will automatically activate Half Space
to fit the new word in the available space.
Using AutoSpell
Activate AutoSpell to suggest alternative spellings when errors
are located.
NOTE: In Type Mode, AutoSpell only checks text in the
correction memory.
1. Press Code + AutoSpell (Tab S) when the cursor or print hammer is
on the incorrect word. A beep is heard. The display first prompts:
AutoSpell THINKING
and then alternative words are displayed.
2. Press Spacebar to scroll through the alternatives one word at a
time. The prior word moves off the display. Press Back Space to
return to prior word(s). If you attempt to move the cursor beyond
the last word, the display prompts:
