Spell checkers

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

How AI is used by roles that use Spell checkers

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Spell checkers and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 33.3% of the 6 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (2 roles).

Across those roles, 40.6% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 52.3% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.00 / 5.

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Spell checkers, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Spell checkers matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Spell checkers (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 0.2% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Spell checkers (measured across 21 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Industries where it is most concentrated

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
