Let me give you an example in Portuguese to be easier to understand.

Imagine that you type in Writer a word that is not in the speller:
"serio"

In a normal situation the speller will red underline it, but in the speller
there was the word:
"sério"
(with accent in the "é")
So, the autocorrect would replace "serio" with "sério" automatically.

This is how MS Word 2016 is now doing it. It has a checkbox to use words from
the speller and thus has a very small autocorrect list.

If it is just a mismatch of accents, in Word 2016 the correction is automatic.
