Homophone Checker
Homophone Checker surfaces the candidates; only the sentence tells you which spelling belongs, which is why nothing is corrected automatically.

Homophone matches
Three matches: their used where they're is meant, loose for lose, and there for their. Each shown with its sentence and the rule that separates the pair.
How the Homophone Checker works
- Paste the text — an email, an article, or a chapter.
- Review each match in context; the tool finds candidates, it does not decide which word is right.
- Fix the genuine errors and ignore the correct uses, which will always outnumber them.
FAQ
Why doesn't a spellchecker catch these?
Because both spellings are real words. A spellchecker checks whether a word exists, not whether it is the right one. Homophone errors survive every spellcheck and most proofreads.
Which pairs cause the most trouble?
Their, there and they're; its and it's; your and you're; affect and effect; lose and loose. Between them they account for a large share of the errors people notice in published text.
Can it tell me which word is correct?
It flags candidates and explains the distinction. Deciding needs the sentence's meaning, which is why every match is shown in context rather than corrected silently.
