import Caribe as cb
from Caribe import trinidad_decode, trinidad_decode_split, caribe_corrector
sentence = "Ah wah mi modda phone"
standard = cb.phrase_decode(sentence)
standard = cb.trinidad_decode(standard)
fixed = cb.caribe_corrector(standard)
print(fixed) #Output: I want my mother phone
Sample 2: Checks the dialect input against existing known phrases
# Sample 2
import Caribe as cb
from Caribe import trinidad_decode, trinidad_decode_split, caribe_corrector
sentence = "Waz de scene"
standard = cb.phrase_decode(sentence)
print(standard) # Outputs: How are you
Sample 3: Checks the sentence for any grammatical errors or incomplete words and corrects it.
#Sample 3
import Caribe as cb
from Caribe import trinidad_decode, trinidad_decode_split, caribe_corrector
sentence = "I am playin fotball outsde"
standard = cb.caribe_corrector(sentence)
