There are several ways:
1) If you are online, use the spell-checker built into search engines. (There is one for this window.)
2) If you know the first few letters, consult a dictionary.
3) If you know the approximate meaning, look up a similar word in a thesaurus.
4) If you know what field the word is used in, go to an online article on that subject and use the "edit, find" menu on your browser to look for words of similar spelling in the article.
5) If still in doubt, ask here, and you will get some likely spellings to verify.

∙ 8y agoFor most words, if you know the spelling, the IPA and even voice samples are available at online dictionaries. You can also try the English language words at the site Howjasay. For non-English words, sites like Forvo give examples by native speakers.
Where the spelling is unknown, you can try spellcheckers like Google and Microsoft Word. Getting close to the right spelling could take several tries, as different letters can have the same sound. If it is a word with a foreign language cognate, typing that in a Translate program will often reveal the English word in its various forms.
