Please try out the current Premiere Pro Beta, which includes spellcheck for captions and graphics.
You can find beta versions of apps in your Creative Cloud Desktop app. On the left, under Categories, click on Beta Apps. There you can install a separate version of Premiere Pro which does not overwrite your regular installation of Premiere Pro. To provide feedback you can use UserVoice or hop over to the Beta community forum! https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta/ct-p/ct-premiere-pro-beta?page=1&sort=latest_replies&tabid=all

@Joe White: right-clicking a misspelled word should give you a popup with suggestions. Are you not seeing this? You also have the option to do a Replace All for multiple misspelled words.

While spell check now highlights incorrectly spelled words, there's no option to right-click and select the correct spelling. It's time consuming having to re-type each word manually to correct the spelling.
There should also be an option to automatically accept all spell check suggestions.
There's also no grammar check, which is particularly problematic as the automatic transcription often omits and misplaces full stops and commas. Really, they shouldn't be incorrect in the first place, but it should be highlighted by spell check if it does occur.

It would be great to have Spell Check in keeping with how it works in Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign.

We NEED a spell check for the captions!
Now I have to export the text and check it in another software just to save myself from embarassing mistakes, which is a stupid workaround... -

Please implement this ASAP!
Make sure it works for both Captions and mogrt, Essential Graphics panel, animated titles, lower thirds etc. -

For after effects too please!

I did not write that comment, but I'm pretty sure what Francis means by, "We are looking into it" is that we recognize that a lot of users could benefit from a spell check feature and so we're trying to evaluate our priorities and perhaps even lay some ground work to make it happen in the not too distant future.
So it's good that you added your feedback here and hopefully we can make that feature a reality (in PrPro at least) before too long. I cannot speak to why other apps do not have spell checkers either.

Adobe, for the sake of your subscribers/users could you respond with some kind of explanation of why premiere doesn't already have this? What does 'we are looking into this mean'?
Other video software tends not to have it wither. Why is this the case? From a user point of view is such an obvious no-brainer.

I don't understand why there still hasn't been an update that includes this feature. This is such a basic request that would have an immediate value add for Premiere Pro. Come on Adobe.

Very necessary. With all of the amazing advancements Adobe has made in software I am honestly shocked that this hasn't been added yet.

This. Or provide hooks for Grammarly or somebody. Come on Adobe, it's 2021. This is not hard.
Heck, I'd even settle for the solution PowerPoint had in the beginning, a separate step that you'd invoke that would check all the text.

Please add spell check! Love that I was able to import a .srt file from a transcriber to create closed captioning titles, but spell check would be great as there were a few typos in the file I was provided :/

This request is so self explanatory, the OP only wrote a title without any further explanation! lol
Spell check would certainly be a nice addition to Pr! With the new captioning tools coming out in version 15.0 (currently in beta), it would make a great addition to those tools as well!
One important thing to mention is that users should have access to all languages, not just the language their version of Pr is in. I do videos in 4 different languages that I speak and I've even done a few videos in some languages I don't(with the help of native speakers, of course, but even they can miss spelling mistakes).

I think it would be so helpful to add a spell-check to Premiere. So many times the only issue with a video is 1 spelling error and it's such a pain when you've already rendered the video then you have to go back, make the change and render it again. Obviously the spelling falls on the editor, but sometimes it's just a simple mistake that would be easily fixed if there was spell-check.

It should be a standard part of any software application. A typo in a video or article or on a poster is the kiss of death. Once you've made that impression with the public, it is hard to erase. Since Adobe is using AI to streamline the experience for users, it seems like a minor task to employ dynamic spell check in all its applications. PLEASE make this part of an update.

Creativity for all right? At conferences you always talk about tools not hindering artists, the lack of this seemingly basic "spell check" function in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. makes me think you don't take that mantra seriously. I see posts dating back years asking about this issue.
