Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently — their, there and they’re, for example. A spellchecker won’t catch the wrong one, so Readable can highlight them for you to check.

  1. Open your document in Microsoft Word or Apple Pages.
  2. Choose Show homophones from the Check ▾ dropdown. Every word in the document that is on Readable’s homophones list turns blue.
  3. Check each blue word. Point at one and hold Control and Shift to see its homophones in the Word Information popup.
  4. Choose Clear homophones to set them all back to black.
