To use spell checking in memoQ, you need to set up the spell checker for each target language you work with. You can do this on the Spelling and grammar pane of the Options window.

If Microsoft Word is there on your computer, memoQ can use Word's spell checkers. If Word is not on the computer, or it does not have a spell checker for the language you need, you can set up Hunspell for that language.

If Microsoft Word is on your computer, and it supports grammar checking for your target language, memoQ can also check the grammar of your translation.
