> **For AI agents:** the complete documentation index is at [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Append `.md` to any page URL for its markdown version.

Catch typos and grammar mistakes in your app before your users do. The AI reads the visible text of the current screen and reports anything that looks wrong in the language you specify. Useful on content-heavy screens and for localization checks.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| ----------- | ---------- | ------------- |
| Language | Yes | The language the visible text is expected to be written in (for example `French`). |
| Ignore error on this step | No | The run continues with the next step if this one fails. Default: off. |

## Results and metrics

- **Timing**: start, end, and duration (in seconds) recorded in the step result.
- **Status**: failed when the AI finds spelling or grammar issues in the visible text, with the issues listed in the result.
- **Screenshot**: captured for the checked state, so you can see exactly what was verified.
- **AI usage**: the AI cost of the check is added to the run.

For how the check works and how to interpret findings, see [Spell check](/ai/spell-check).
