Abstract:
A context-aware spell checker to detect non-word spelling errors and/or suggest corrections. The context-aware spell checker may utilize n-gram conditional probabilities to suggest corrections based on a context of the non-word spelling error. The suggested corrections may be presented as a prioritized list of words based on calculated scores of the n-gram conditional probabilities. Utilizing n-gram conditional probabilities may permit the context-aware spell checker to be integrated across a multitude of languages or configured according to a particular language. The context-aware spell checker may perform spell checking and suggest corrections in real-time, or may be at least partially automated, to reduce user perceived latency and delay.
