SpellCure — correction engine for highly scrambled text
Project description
SpellCure
SpellCure is a mathematical correction engine for highly scrambled or distorted text, created by Saheban Khan.
Instead of machine learning, SpellCure uses a position-weighted ratio algorithm to compute similarity between distorted tokens and valid dictionary words.
It is designed to recover words even when the input is heavily jumbled — far beyond simple typo correction.
✨ Features
- Corrects heavily scrambled words
- Pure math-based algorithm — no ML required
- Supports both a small built-in vocabulary and NLTK’s large word corpus
- Works on sentences, single words, or mixed noisy text
- Fast, deterministic, and easy to integrate in other projects
🧠 How SpellCure Works
SpellCure compares each input token against vocabulary words using:
- position-based character similarity
- ratio scoring
- recursive refinement steps
- optional large NLTK vocabulary
This allows SpellCure to recover the correct word even when the text looks like:
"aplpe"→"apple""ths si a tset"→"this is a test""tihs wrod is msesdy"→"this word is messy"
EXAMPLE from spellcure import SpellCure
Use small built-in vocabulary
model = SpellCure(mode="small") print(model.correct("ths si a tset"))
Output: this is a test # Use NLTK's large vocabulary
model = SpellCure(mode="large") print(model.correct("aplpe"))
🚀 Installation
