Flyspell mode is a minor mode that performs automatic spell-checking
-as you type. When it finds a word that it does not recognize, it
-highlights that word. Type @kbd{M-x flyspell-mode} to toggle Flyspell
-mode in the current buffer. To enable Flyspell mode in all text mode
-buffers, add @code{flyspell-mode} to @code{text-mode-hook}.

+use @code{flyspell-region} or @code{flyspell-buffer} for that.
