Check spelling in Keynote on iPad

Spelling errors are corrected as you type, unless you turned off the Auto-Correction setting for your iPad. If you turned off this setting, you can still flag spelling errors as you enter text in Keynote presentations. You can also add terms to the dictionary so they’re not marked as misspellings.

Note: Spelling is checked according to the language of the keyboard you’re using, not the language of the presentation.

Check and correct spelling

Tap , tap Settings, then tap Auto-Correction.
Turn on Check Spelling, then tap the slide to close the controls.
Misspelled and unrecognized words are underlined in red.
Tap a misspelled word, then tap the correct spelling.

Add and remove words from the spelling dictionary

Add a word: Tap the underlined word, then tap Learn Spelling (you may need to tap Replace first). The word is added to the dictionary used by Keynote and other apps.
Remove a word: Double-tap the word on the slide, then tap Unlearn Spelling. The word is removed from the dictionary used by Keynote and other apps.

Note: If you add a word to the spelling dictionary, it’s added for all languages.
