symspell-clj

SymSpell spell checker in Clojure.

This is based on a Java port of the SymSpell spell checker.

Usage

(require '[symspell-clj.core :as sp])

(def sc (sp/new-spellchecker))

;; get a suggested corrected string, you probably want to use this for simple things
(sp/get-suggestion sc "Wht is tht?")
;;==> "What is that?"

;; use functions below if you want to do your own thing

;; spell checking individual word, return suggestions and corresponding edit distances
(sp/lookup sc "wht")
;;==> (["what" 1] ["whit" 1] ["whet" 1])

;; spell checking multiple words, this also does word segmentation
(sp/lookup-compound sc "whereis th elove hehad dated forImuch of thepast who couqdn'tread in sixtgrade and ins pired him")
;;==> (["where is the love he had dated for much of the past who couldn't read in sixth grade and inspired him" 10])
