# textView(_:didCheckTextIn:types:options:results:orthography:wordCount:)

Invoked to allow the delegate to modify the text checking results after checking has occurred.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor optional func textView(_ view: NSTextView, didCheckTextIn range: NSRange, types checkingTypes: NSTextCheckingTypes, options: [NSSpellChecker.OptionKey : Any] = [:], results: [NSTextCheckingResult], orthography: NSOrthography, wordCount: Int) -> [NSTextCheckingResult]
```

## Parameters

- `view`: The text view sending the message.
- `range`: The range that was checked.
