Hello. I found this script online, from which I'm trying to output a list of misspelled English words together with their spelling recommendations, using MS Word's spelling corrections via Powershell. I don't have coding knowledge, so I don't know why isn't the script working. Could someone help me out? Thanks!

This works, i think! You didnt mention the output you wanted so hope this is ok.
You were on the right track but had some syntax and bracket issues
$app = New-Object -ComObject 'Word.Application'
$app.visible = $false
$doc = $app.Documents.Add()
$doc.Content.text = Get-Content "C:\Temp\TestFile.txt" # This will get the text of the file specified
$selection = $app.Selection
$report = #() # an empty array which we will fill with spelling mistakes
foreach($word in ($doc.Words | Select -ExpandProperty Text)) { # loop through each word in the text
# if the word is misspelled then process it
if (!($app.CheckSpelling($word))) {
# get list of correction suggestions for this word
$suggestion = $app.GetSpellingSuggestions($word) | Select -ExpandProperty name
# if there are suggestions then add it to the report
if ($suggestion) {
$report += New-Object psobject -Property #{
Misspelled = $word;
Suggestions = $suggestion
}
}
# else if there are no suggestions then add an entry saying just that
else {
$report += New-Object -TypeName psobject -Property #{
Misspelled = $word;
Suggestions = "No Suggestion"
}
}
}
}
# push the results to a file
$report | Out-File "C:\Temp\results.txt"
