Irish Language Spell Checker ⌨️: In this blog, we provide you with a number of options you can use to write in the Irish or Gaelic language better. There are a number of Irish language spell checkers software, and we will cover both free and paid versions in this blog. 

 

When writing, grammar should not be the only aspect of it you should improve upon. Spelling, the act of accurately creating words by placing the letters correctly, is one of the most important part of writing successfully and conveying a thought.

 

No matter what language you use, you should make sure to spell correctly. That way, everyone can understand you and receive your thoughts with little to no effort. However, this might prove hard to those who are studying a whole new language such as Irish.

 

The Irish language, in particular, is fairly difficult to learn. Quoting Irish Central,

It is a difficult language to learn. It has so many of its own rules and it can be complicated.

It’s also just like any other language in that if you don’t get the opportunity to use it you’ll forget it which is a shame.

 

As a result, one should practice constantly if he/she aims to perfect the Irish language. One thing you can practice on is spelling – you can use an Irish language spell checker online to discover and memorise Irish word spellings. Below, we give you an overview of software you can use to improve your Irish language spelling. Continue reading this blog to learn more.

What is a spell checker?

 

How do you define a spell checker?

Conas a shainmhíníonn tú seiceálaí litrithe?

 

A spell checker (or simply spellchecker), first and foremost, is a software application that – already quite obvious due to its name – checks the spelling of words while currently being written or after they have already been written. Additionally, it can also provide suggestions for what it sees as misspellings.

 

There are many spell checkers for many languages. Irish language spell checkers have already been available for a couple of decades already.
