Last updated on Apr 2, 2026

Learn how to set spell check preferences, check your text, and correct spelling in Adobe Premiere.

Set spell check options

Select Edit > Spelling > Spell Check Settings, or select the icon on the Graphics tab in the Text panel, and select Spell checkSpell check settings.

By default, the default language is set to match the installed app language. To change the language, select the desired language option from the Language dropdown list.

Set Premiere to learn or forget specific words. These words are added to or removed from that specific language dictionary and are OS-wide.

Note

Language options are dependent on the languages installed on the OS. macOS comes pre-installed with a good variety of languages, but Windows requires a manual install of most language packs.

Check and correct spelling

To start spell check, do one of the following:

  • Select Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling.
  • Select the icon on the Graphics tab in the Text panel, and select Check spelling.

When Check Spelling is selected, Premiere highlights misspelled words with a red underline. Right-click the underlined words to display a list of suggested words to correct the spelling quickly.

If this word is a name or word that isn't actually misspelled in your context, then select Learn from the right-click context menu so that Premiere learns the word and does not highlight it in red again.
